When line-level log is invoked with more than one disjoint line range
in the same file, and one of the commits happens to change that file
such that one diff range modifies more than one line range, then
changes to all modified line ranges should be shown, but only the
changes in the first modified line range are:
$ git log --oneline -p

The line-log-specific diff printer is already clever enough to handle
the case when one line range covers multiple diff ranges, but the
possibility of one diff range touching multiple disjoint line ranges
was apparently overlooked.
Add the necessary condition to dump_diff_hacky_one() to handle this case
as well, and show all modified line ranges:
$ git log --oneline -L1,2:file -L4,5:file -L7,8:file

This bug was already present in the initial line-log implementation
added in 2da1d1f6f (Implement line-history search (git log -L),
2013-03-28). Interestingly, that commit already contained a canned
test case covering a similar scenario:
"-L '/long f/',/^}/:a.c -L /main/,/^}/:a.c simple"
This test case looks for two line ranges in the same file, and both
trace back disjointly to the test repository's inital commit,
therefore changes to both line ranges should have been shown for the
initial commit, but only changes for the first line range are shown.
So this test case should have failed from the very beginning, but it
never did, because, unfortunately, the canned expected result is
incorrect, as it doesn't include changes for the second line range.
A similar test with a similarly incorrect canned expected result was
added later in 209618860c (log -L: fix overlapping input ranges,
2013-04-05).
Correct these two canned expected results to contain the changes for
the second line range for the initial commit as well.

Git - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.adoc to get started, then see
Documentation/giteveryday.adoc for a useful minimum set of commands, and
Documentation/git-<commandname>.adoc for documentation of each command.
If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be
read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the
documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.adoc
(man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is
installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission and Documentation/CodingGuidelines).
Those wishing to help with error message, usage and informational message
string translations (localization l10) should see po/README.md
(a po file is a Portable Object file that holds the translations).
To subscribe to the list, send an email to git+subscribe@vger.kernel.org (see https://subspace.kernel.org/subscribing.html for details). The mailing list archives are available at https://lore.kernel.org/git/, https://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the "What's cooking" reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name "git" was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as "the stupid content tracker" and the name as (depending on your mood):
- random three-letter combination that is pronounceable, and not actually used by any common UNIX command. The fact that it is a mispronunciation of "get" may or may not be relevant.
- stupid. contemptible and despicable. simple. Take your pick from the dictionary of slang.
- "global information tracker": you're in a good mood, and it actually works for you. Angels sing, and a light suddenly fills the room.
- "goddamn idiotic truckload of sh*t": when it breaks
