log -L: :pattern:file syntax to find by funcname
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'.
