  13DESCRIPTION
  14-----------
  15
  16Many Git commands take revision parameters as arguments. Depending on
  17the command, they denote a specific commit or, for commands which
  18walk the revision graph (such as linkgit:git-log[1]), all commits which are
  19reachable from that commit. For commands that walk the revision graph one can
  20also specify a range of revisions explicitly.
  21
  22In addition, some Git commands (such as linkgit:git-show[1] and
  23linkgit:git-push[1]) can also take revision parameters which denote
  24other objects than commits, e.g. blobs ("files") or trees
  25("directories of files").
