Description

While the summary command does use the commit-ish parameter passed to it, it appears that the --line option does not use the commit-ish argument: I got the same results when running without and with a (non-HEAD) commit-ish.

Also, this is undocumented.

Research direction

Start with the line-summary command and the summary --line option, comparing their handling of a non-HEAD commit-ish with the regular summary command. Done means --line uses the supplied commit-ish consistently and the behavior is documented; no source files or tests are named in the issue.
