Documentation / blame-options.txton commit checkout: convert to use parse_pathspec (817b345)
   1-b::
   2        Show blank SHA-1 for boundary commits.  This can also
   3        be controlled via the `blame.blankboundary` config option.
   4
   5--root::
   6        Do not treat root commits as boundaries.  This can also be
   7        controlled via the `blame.showroot` config option.
   8
   9--show-stats::
  10        Include additional statistics at the end of blame output.
  11
  12-L <start>,<end>, -L :<regex>::
  13        Annotate only the given line range.  <start> and <end> can take
  14        one of these forms:
  15
  16include::line-range-format.txt[]
  17
  18-l::
  19        Show long rev (Default: off).
  20
  21-t::
  22        Show raw timestamp (Default: off).
  23
  24-S <revs-file>::
  25        Use revisions from revs-file instead of calling linkgit:git-rev-list[1].
  26
  27--reverse::
  28        Walk history forward instead of backward. Instead of showing
  29        the revision in which a line appeared, this shows the last
  30        revision in which a line has existed. This requires a range of
  31        revision like START..END where the path to blame exists in
  32        START.
  33
  34-p::
  35--porcelain::
  36        Show in a format designed for machine consumption.
  37
  38--line-porcelain::
  39        Show the porcelain format, but output commit information for
  40        each line, not just the first time a commit is referenced.
  41        Implies --porcelain.
  42
  43--incremental::
  44        Show the result incrementally in a format designed for
  45        machine consumption.
  46
  47--encoding=<encoding>::
  48        Specifies the encoding used to output author names
  49        and commit summaries. Setting it to `none` makes blame
  50        output unconverted data. For more information see the
  51        discussion about encoding in the linkgit:git-log[1]
  52        manual page.
  53
  54--contents <file>::
  55        When <rev> is not specified, the command annotates the
  56        changes starting backwards from the working tree copy.
  57        This flag makes the command pretend as if the working
  58        tree copy has the contents of the named file (specify
  59        `-` to make the command read from the standard input).
  60
  61--date <format>::
  62        The value is one of the following alternatives:
  63        {relative,local,default,iso,rfc,short}. If --date is not
  64        provided, the value of the blame.date config variable is
  65        used. If the blame.date config variable is also not set, the
  66        iso format is used. For more information, See the discussion
  67        of the --date option at linkgit:git-log[1].
  68
  69-M|<num>|::
  70        Detect moved or copied lines within a file. When a commit
  71        moves or copies a block of lines (e.g. the original file
  72        has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and then
  73        A), the traditional 'blame' algorithm notices only half of
  74        the movement and typically blames the lines that were moved
  75        up (i.e. B) to the parent and assigns blame to the lines that
  76        were moved down (i.e. A) to the child commit.  With this
  77        option, both groups of lines are blamed on the parent by
  78        running extra passes of inspection.
  79+
  80<num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
  81alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
  82within a file for it to associate those lines with the parent
  83commit. The default value is 20.
  84
  85-C|<num>|::
  86        In addition to `-M`, detect lines moved or copied from other
  87        files that were modified in the same commit.  This is
  88        useful when you reorganize your program and move code
  89        around across files.  When this option is given twice,
  90        the command additionally looks for copies from other
  91        files in the commit that creates the file. When this
  92        option is given three times, the command additionally
  93        looks for copies from other files in any commit.
  94+
  95<num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
  96alphanumeric characters that Git must detect as moving/copying
  97between files for it to associate those lines with the parent
  98commit. And the default value is 40. If there are more than one
  99`-C` options given, the <num> argument of the last `-C` will
 100take effect.
