DESCRIPTION
-----------
Many git porcelainish commands take mixture of flags
(i.e. parameters that begin with a dash '-') and parameters
-meant for underlying `git-rev-list` command they use internally
-and flags and parameters for other commands they use as the
+meant for the underlying `git-rev-list` command they use internally
+and flags and parameters for the other commands they use
downstream of `git-rev-list`. This command is used to
distinguish between them.
The parameter given must be usable as a single, valid
object name. Otherwise barf and abort.
--q, --quiet::
+-q::
+--quiet::
Only meaningful in `--verify` mode. Do not output an error
message if the first argument is not a valid object name;
instead exit with non-zero status silently.
--is-bare-repository::
When the repository is bare print "true", otherwise "false".
---short, --short=number::
+--short::
+--short=number::
Instead of outputting the full SHA1 values of object names try to
abbreviate them to a shorter unique name. When no length is specified
7 is used. The minimum length is 4.
---since=datestring, --after=datestring::
- Parses the date string, and outputs corresponding
- --max-age= parameter for git-rev-list command.
+--since=datestring::
+--after=datestring::
+ Parse the date string, and output the corresponding
+ --max-age= parameter for `git-rev-list`.
---until=datestring, --before=datestring::
- Parses the date string, and outputs corresponding
- --min-age= parameter for git-rev-list command.
+--until=datestring::
+--before=datestring::
+ Parse the date string, and output the corresponding
+ --min-age= parameter for `git-rev-list`.

A similar notation "`r1\...r2`" is called symmetric difference
of `r1` and `r2` and is defined as
-"`r1 r2 --not $(git-merge-base --all r1 r2)`".
+"`r1 r2 --not $(git merge-base --all r1 r2)`".
It is the set of commits that are reachable from either one of
`r1` or `r2` but not from both.
