This is unrelated to --pickaxe-raw-diff, -U<n> just implies -p in
general. See e.g. "git log -U1".

Oops. Since I use `-U<n>` mostly with `git show`, I missed the
implication. You are right. Then, my question is how users are
going to (quote from commit description):

[..] search [..] through an arbitrary amount of
context lines when combined with -U<n>.

and achieve a `git log --oneline` report, given that -U<n> unfolds
the commits?

You can use "-s" to suppress patch output; as long as it comes after -U
on the command-line, it will countermand the patch-format part.

That's a handy trick. Now the feature is really usable. Thanks.

(Of course it doesn't matter until we have a raw-diff grep, since
otherwise the context lines do not matter at all, and you should just
omit -U entirely).

Yep. Agreed.
