Subject: [PATCH 6/6] blame-options.txt: explain that -L <start> and <end> are optional
Date: Wed, 17 Jul 2013 17:25:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1374096332-7891-7-git-send-email-sunshine@sunshineco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1374096332-7891-1-git-send-email-sunshine@sunshineco.com>

The ability to omit either end of the -L range is a handy but
undocumented shortcut, and is thus not easily discovered. Fix this
shortcoming.
