A test would be nice, yes. Look in t/t4211-line-log.sh - you should be
OK if you add a test at the end which does the following:

"git checkout parallel-change" so that you have commits with more than 1
parent in the history

test "git log -L1,1 b.c" (it core dumps with current git)

That is, you don't have to set up merges and history, you can use the
existing one.

Cheers,
Michael
