Standard practice in Git documentation is for each variation of an
option (such as: -p / --porcelain) to be placed on its own line in the
OPTIONS table. The -L option does not follow suit. It cuddles "-L
<start>,<end>:<file>" and "-L :<regex>:<file>", separated by a comma.
This is inconsistent and potentially confusing since the comma
separating them is typeset the same as the comma in "<start>,<end>". Fix
this by placing each variation on its own line.
