Subject: [PATCH 2/2] log: reject pickaxe options when combined with -L
Date: Wed, 04 Mar 2026 19:11:24 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ae5269af0b08d75bcad38b0263debe4e23e479a8.1772651484.git.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <pull.2061.git.1772651484.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>

From: Michael Montalbo <mmontalbo@gmail.com>

The previous commit fixed a crash when -G, -S, or --find-object was
used together with -L and rename detection.  However, these options
still have no effect on -L output: line-log uses its own
commit-filtering logic in line_log_filter() and never consults the
pickaxe machinery.  Rather than silently ignoring these options, reject
the combination with a clear error message.

This replaces the known-breakage tests from the previous commit with
tests that verify the rejection for all three options.  A future series
could teach line-log to honor these options and remove this restriction.
