t4211: fix broken test when one -L range is subset of another
t4211 attempts to test multiple git-log -L ranges where one range is a
superset of the other, and falsely succeeds because its "expected"
output is incorrect.
Overlapping -L ranges handed to git-log are coalesced by
line-log.c:sort_and_merge_range_set() into a set of non-overlapping,
disjoint ranges. When one range is a subset of another,
sort_and_merge_range_set() should coalesce both ranges to the superset
range, but instead the coalesced range often is incorrectly truncated to
the end of the subset range. For example, ranges 2-8 and 3-4 are
coalesced incorrectly to 2-4.
One can observe this incorrect behavior with git-log -L using the test
repository created by t4211. The superset/subset ranges t4211 employs
are 4-$ and 8-12 (where $ represents end-of-file). The coalesced range
should be 4-$. Manually invoking git-log with the same ranges the test
employs, we see:
% git log -L 4:a.c simple |
awk '/^commit [0-9a-f]{40}/ { print substr($2,1,7) }'

% git log -L 4:a.c -L 8,12:a.c simple | awk ...
a6eb826

This last output is incorrect. 8-12 is a subset of 4-$, hence the output
of the coalesced range should be the same as the 4-$ output shown first.
In fact, the above incorrect output is the truncated bogus range 4-12:
% git log -L 4,12:a.c simple | awk ...
a6eb826
f04fb20
de4c48a
Fix the test to correctly fail in the presence of the
sort_and_merge_range_set() coalescing bug. Do so by changing the
"expected" output to the commits mentioned in the 4-$ output above.
