Git log line selection
How to follow changes on lines of a file?
Since git 1.8.4 you can git log just a bunch of lines in a file.
$ git log -L<Line number>,<range>:<filename>
To see changes on lines 4 to 32, in app/assets/javascripts/application.js
$ git log -L4,32:app/assets/javascripts/application.js
To see changes on 10 lines, after line 20, in app/assets/javascripts/application.js
$ git log -L20,+10:app/assets/javascripts/application.js
