DESCRIPTION
-----------
OPTIONS
-------
<rev>::
- Arbitrary extended SHA1 expression (see `git-rev-parse`)
- that typically names a branch HEAD or a tag.
+ Arbitrary extended SHA1 expression (see linkgit:git-rev-parse[1])
+ that typically names a branch head or a tag.
<glob>::
A glob pattern that matches branch or tag names under
branches under $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/topic, giving
`topic/*` would show all of them.
---all --heads --tags::
- Show all refs under $GIT_DIR/refs, $GIT_DIR/refs/heads,
- and $GIT_DIR/refs/tags, respectively.
+-r::
+--remotes::
+ Show the remote-tracking branches.
+
+-a::
+--all::
+ Show both remote-tracking branches and local branches.
--current::
With this option, the command includes the current
appear in topological order (i.e., descendant commits
are shown before their parents).
+--sparse::
+ By default, the output omits merges that are reachable
+ from only one tip being shown. This option makes them
+ visible.
+
--more=<n>::
Usually the command stops output upon showing the commit
that is the common ancestor of all the branches. This
of "master"), name them with the unique prefix of their
object names.
+--topics::
+ Shows only commits that are NOT on the first branch given.
+ This helps track topic branches by hiding any commit that
+ is already in the main line of development. When given
+ "git show-branch --topics master topic1 topic2", this
+ will show the revisions given by "git rev-list {caret}master
+ topic1 topic2"
+
+--reflog[=<n>[,<base>]] [<ref>]::
+ Shows <n> most recent ref-log entries for the given
+ ref. If <base> is given, <n> entries going back from
+ that entry. <base> can be specified as count or date.
+ `-g` can be used as a short-hand for this option. When
+ no explicit <ref> parameter is given, it defaults to the
+ current branch (or `HEAD` if it is detached).
+
Note that --more, --list, --independent and --merge-base options
are mutually exclusive.

+With this, `git show-branch` without extra parameters would show
only the primary branches. In addition, if you happen to be on
your topic branch, it is shown as well.
+------------
+$ git show-branch --reflog="10,1 hour ago" --list master
+------------
+
+shows 10 reflog entries going back from the tip as of 1 hour ago.
+Without `--list`, the output also shows how these tips are
+topologically related with each other.
