Description

When I test with git log -2, it wasn't able to explain -2

I am not sure if this is a supported operation of explainshell, or could something be done in this case?

Excellent tool and website. Keep up the good work! 😉

Research direction

Reproduce the reported case with git log -2 using the explainshell URL and compare how -2 is handled against the rest of the command. The issue does not mention a file or test; done means explainshell either documents this argument or clearly reports why it cannot explain it.
