  13DESCRIPTION
  14-----------
  15Shows one or more objects (blobs, trees, tags and commits).
  16
  17For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. It also
  18presents the merge commit in a special format as produced by
  19'git diff-tree --cc'.
  20
  21For tags, it shows the tag message and the referenced objects.
  22
  23For trees, it shows the names (equivalent to 'git ls-tree'
  24with \--name-only).
  25
  26For plain blobs, it shows the plain contents.
  27
  28The command takes options applicable to the 'git diff-tree' command to
  29control how the changes the commit introduces are shown.
