Commits where only the indentation of 'foo' is changed are not shown=20
with "git log -Sfoo". Is there any way to force showing them along with=
=20
other changes involving foo? (E.g. for python, indentation matters!)

Why doesn't the second commit show up in the following?

$ git init

# Create text containing 'line' without whitespace
$ echo 'line' > text
$ git add text
$ git commit -m "first" text

# Here, I add one space of indentation in front of 'line'
$ echo ' line' > text
$ git commit -m "second" text

# git log -Sline shows only the first commit, not the second,
# where the indentation changed.
$ git log -Sline

     first

# But clearly, the second commit *also* has changes
# containing 'line':
$ git log -p HEAD~..HEAD

     second

diff --git a/text b/text

--- a/text

-line

I would like to see both "first" and "second" somehow - can I do that?
