|  |  | 
|  | Trace the evolution of the line range given by `<start>,<end>`, | 
|  | or by the function name regex _<funcname>_, within the _<file>_. You may | 
|  | not give any pathspec limiters.  This is currently limited to | 
|  | a walk starting from a single revision, i.e., you may only | 
|  | give zero or one positive revision arguments, and | 
|  | _<start>_ and _<end>_ (or _<funcname>_) must exist in the starting revision. | 
|  | You can specify this option more than once. Implies `--patch`. | 
|  | Patch output can be suppressed using `--no-patch`, but other diff formats | 
|  | (namely `--raw`, `--numstat`, `--shortstat`, `--dirstat`, `--summary`, | 
|  | `--name-only`, `--name-status`, `--check`) are not currently implemented. |
