You misunderstand. It's not "all", it's "any" (in fact, it would be even
better if it would be on a byte-range basis, not on a line-based diff
basis).
And it needs the GUI to make it useful, because nobody in their right mind
will say "git showchange fs/inode.c 77-89" (and then do it iteratively if
the first one wasn't actually the interesting case).
