Filter file commits by revision range

Question

Body

The docs regarding the commit history of a specific file is quite small, essentially point where it is and referring to the official Git docs about History Simplification as a explanation of which commits are added.

But the page with the commit history of a file also supports multiple of the Commit Limiting options as query-string parameters. Using the same example file from the docs, we can build a URL filtering by a date range and commit author, equivalent maps to the command git log --since=2022-07-01 --until=2023-01-01 --author=<author_email> -- README.md.

Could the parameters that are mapped from the query string be documented somewhere?

The git log command also accepts a revision range as an argument (not a flag, but a positional argument). Is there any query string parameter that maps to that argument? If there isn't, is this something that GitHub could consider?
