782 Arbitrary extended SHA-1 expression (see <a href="gitrevisions.html">gitrevisions(7)</a>)

789 <dd>
791 A glob pattern that matches branch or tag names under
792 refs/. For example, if you have many topic
793 branches under refs/heads/topic, giving
794 <code>topic/*</code> would show all of them.

801 --remotes

811 <dt class="hdlist1">
812 --all

818 </dd>
819 <dt class="hdlist1">
820 --current
821 </dt>
822 <dd>
824 With this option, the command includes the current
825 branch in the list of revs to be shown when it is not
826 given on the command line.
827 </p>
828 </dd>
829 <dt class="hdlist1">
830 --topo-order
831 </dt>
832 <dd>
834 By default, the branches and their commits are shown in
835 reverse chronological order. This option makes them
836 appear in topological order (i.e., descendant commits
837 are shown before their parents).
838 </p>
839 </dd>
840 <dt class="hdlist1">
841 --date-order
842 </dt>
843 <dd>
845 This option is similar to <code>--topo-order</code> in the sense that no
846 parent comes before all of its children, but otherwise commits
847 are ordered according to their commit date.
848 </p>
849 </dd>
850 <dt class="hdlist1">
851 --sparse
852 </dt>
853 <dd>
855 By default, the output omits merges that are reachable
856 from only one tip being shown. This option makes them
857 visible.
858 </p>
859 </dd>
860 <dt class="hdlist1">
861 --more=&lt;n&gt;
862 </dt>
863 <dd>
865 Usually the command stops output upon showing the commit
866 that is the common ancestor of all the branches. This
867 flag tells the command to go &lt;n&gt; more common commits
868 beyond that. When &lt;n&gt; is negative, display only the
869 &lt;ref&gt;s given, without showing the commit ancestry tree.

880 <dt class="hdlist1">
881 --merge-base
882 </dt>
883 <dd>
885 Instead of showing the commit list, determine possible
886 merge bases for the specified commits. All merge bases
887 will be contained in all specified commits. This is
888 different from how <a href="git-merge-base.html">git-merge-base(1)</a> handles
889 the case of three or more commits.

892 <dt class="hdlist1">

908 </dd>
909 <dt class="hdlist1">
910 --sha1-name
911 </dt>
912 <dd>
914 Instead of naming the commits using the path to reach
915 them from heads (e.g. "master~2" to mean the grandparent
916 of "master"), name them with the unique prefix of their
917 object names.
918 </p>
919 </dd>
920 <dt class="hdlist1">
921 --topics
922 </dt>
923 <dd>
925 Shows only commits that are NOT on the first branch given.
926 This helps track topic branches by hiding any commit that
927 is already in the main line of development. When given
928 "git show-branch --topics master topic1 topic2", this
929 will show the revisions given by "git rev-list &#94;master
930 topic1 topic2"

939 <dd>
941 Shows &lt;n&gt; most recent ref-log entries for the given
942 ref. If &lt;base&gt; is given, &lt;n&gt; entries going back from
943 that entry. &lt;base&gt; can be specified as count or date.
944 When no explicit &lt;ref&gt; parameter is given, it defaults to the
945 current branch (or <code>HEAD</code> if it is detached).

948 <dt class="hdlist1">
949 --color[=&lt;when&gt;]

953 Color the status sign (one of these: <code>*</code> <code>!</code> <code>+</code> <code>-</code>) of each commit
954 corresponding to the branch it&#8217;s in.
955 The value must be always (the default), never, or auto.

958 <dt class="hdlist1">
