Subject: [PATCH] line-range: skip trailing empty lines in funcname range
Date: Mon, 21 Sep 2026 11:49:37 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <pull.2234.git.1789991377413.gitgitgadget@gmail.com> (raw)

From: Kristofer Karlsson <krka@spotify.com>

git log -L :funcname: includes trailing empty lines in the
function range. This boils down to parse_range_funcname()
extending the range forward until it either reaches end-of-file
or another function, without skipping empty lines at the
boundary. Including empty lines is inconsistent with how it
works for git grep -W.

Fix this by trimming trailing empty lines from the computed range,
with the same goal as this fix (though with a different approach):

    8e5dd94e68 (grep: -W: skip trailing empty lines at EOF, too,
    2024-07-30)
