          The API lists explicitly all available flags, and it seems unfortunately, there is no implementation for the line range option, -L (at this time). git log is much more flexible than the jgit API.



          The best you could do is to use the .addPath('/path/to/file') method before the .call() to narrow things down, and then calling DiffCommand between each pair of returned commits on the file using the setPathFilter - Finally you have to parse the result yourself to see if your specific line was touched.
