  14DESCRIPTION
  15-----------
  16Shows one or more objects (blobs, trees, tags and commits).
  17
  18For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. It also
  19presents the merge commit in a special format as produced by
  20'git diff-tree --cc'.
  21
  22For tags, it shows the tag message and the referenced objects.
  23
  24For trees, it shows the names (equivalent to 'git ls-tree'
  25with \--name-only).
  26
  27For plain blobs, it shows the plain contents.
  28
  29The command takes options applicable to the 'git diff-tree' command to
  30control how the changes the commit introduces are shown.

  32This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
