log -L: :pattern:file syntax to find by funcname
This new syntax finds a funcname matching /pattern/, and then takes from there up to (but not including) the next funcname. So you can say git log -L:main:main.c and it will dig up the main() function and show its line-log, provided there are no other funcnames matching 'main'.
