Description

For instance, it doesn't look like git log -S works in neogit, but the equivalent git command in the terminal works fine. Why is Neogit showing an option for -s in the log option list if the plugin doesn't (seemingly) support it yet?

Research direction

Trace how Neogit builds its log option list and handles git log -S, then compare that behavior with the equivalent terminal command. Done means the option is either supported correctly or no longer shown when Neogit does not support it.
