The -L/RE/ option of blame/log searches from the end of the previous -L
range, if any. Add new notation -L^/RE/ to override this behavior and
search from start of file.

The new ^/RE/ syntax is valid only as the <start> argument of
-L<start>,<end>. The <end> argument, as usual, is relative to <start>.

 This form will use the first line matching the given
 POSIX regex. If <start> is a regex, it will search from the end of
 the previous `-L` range, if any, otherwise from the start of file.
