So to reproduce, it's first something like this?

  git clone https://github.com/doctrine/instantiator.git
  cd instantiator
  echo '*.php diff=php' >>.gitattributes

Then this?

  git log -L/instantiate\(/,-14:src/Doctrine/Instantiator/Instantiator.php

Or should that be the following?

  git log -L :instantiate:src/Doctrine/Instantiator/Instantiator.php

I played around a little, but couldn't seem to hit 1a8a640f87 as you
mentioned.
