Print the parents of the commit.
+--left-right::
+
+ Mark which side of a symmetric diff a commit is reachable from.
+ Commits from the left side are prefixed with `<` and those from
+ the right with `>`. If combined with `--boundary`, those
+ commits are prefixed with `-`.
++
+For example, if you have this topology:
++
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ y---b---b branch B
+ / \ /
+ / .
+ / / \
+ o---x---a---a branch A
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
++
+you would get an output line this:
++
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------
+ $ git rev-list --left-right --boundary --pretty=oneline A...B
+
+ >bbbbbbb... 3rd on b
+ >bbbbbbb... 2nd on b
+ <aaaaaaa... 3rd on a
+ <aaaaaaa... 2nd on a
+ -yyyyyyy... 1st on b
+ -xxxxxxx... 1st on a
+-----------------------------------------------------------------------

Diff Formatting
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In addition to the '<commit>' listed on the command
line, read them from the standard input.
+--cherry-pick::
+
+ Omit any commit that introduces the same change as
+ another commit on the "other side" when the set of
+ commits are limited with symmetric difference.
++
+For example, if you have two branches, `A` and `B`, a usual way
+to list all commits on only one side of them is with
+`--left-right`, like the example above in the description of
+that option. It however shows the commits that were cherry-picked
+from the other branch (for example, "3rd on b" may be cherry-picked
+from branch A). With this option, such pairs of commits are
+excluded from the output.
+
-g, --walk-reflogs::
Instead of walking the commit ancestry chain, walk
generate and test new 'midpoint's until the commit chain is of length
one.
+--bisect-vars::
+
+This calculates the same as `--bisect`, but outputs text ready
+to be eval'ed by the shell. These lines will assign the name of
+the midpoint revision to the variable `bisect_rev`, and the
+expected number of commits to be tested after `bisect_rev` is
+tested to `bisect_nr`, the expected number of commits to be
+tested if `bisect_rev` turns out to be good to `bisect_good`,
+the expected number of commits to be tested if `bisect_rev`
+turns out to be bad to `bisect_bad`, and the number of commits
+we are bisecting right now to `bisect_all`.
