From: Isabella Stephens <isteph...@atlassian.com>

If the -L option is used to specify a line range in git log, and the end
of the range is past the end of the file, git will fail with a fatal
error. This commit prevents such behaviour - instead we perform the log
for existing lines within the specified range.

This commit also fixes a corner case where -L ,-n:file would be treated
as a log over the whole file. Now we complain that this is an empty
range.
