2013-03-28log -L: :pattern:file syntax to find by funcnameLibravatar Thomas Rast1-0/+7
This new syntax finds a funcname matching /pattern/, and then takes from there up to (but not including) the next funcname. So you can say git log -L:main:main.c and it will dig up the main() function and show its line-log, provided there are no other funcnames matching 'main'.

2013-03-28Refactor parse_locLibravatar Bo Yang1-0/+18
We want to use the same style of -L n,m argument for 'git log -L' as for git-blame. Refactor the argument parsing of the range arguments from builtin/blame.c to the (new) file that will hold the 'git log -L' logic. To accommodate different data structures in blame and log -L, the file contents are abstracted away; parse_range_arg takes a callback that it uses to get the contents of a line of the (notional) file. The new test is for a case that made me pause during debugging: the 'blame -L with invalid end' test was the only one that noticed an outright failure to parse the end *at all*. So make a more explicit test for that. Signed-off-by: Bo Yang <struggleyb.nku@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Thomas Rast <trast@student.ethz.ch> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
