  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 can
  19be reached from that commit. In the latter case one can also specify a
  20range of revisions explicitly.
  21
  22In addition, some Git commands (such as linkgit:git-show[1]) also take
  23revision parameters which denote other objects than commits, e.g. blobs
  24("files") or trees ("directories of files").
