DESCRIPTION
-----------
the specified host language. This is meant to produce
a scriptlet that can directly be `eval`ed.
+--points-at <object>::
+ Only list refs which points at the given object.
+
+--merged [<object>]::
+ Only list refs whose tips are reachable from the
+ specified commit (HEAD if not specified).
+
+--no-merged [<object>]::
+ Only list refs whose tips are not reachable from the
+ specified commit (HEAD if not specified).
+
+--contains [<object>]::
+ Only list tags which contain the specified commit (HEAD if not
+ specified).
FIELD NAMES
-----------
Change output color. Followed by `:<colorname>`, where names
are described in `color.branch.*`.
+align::
+ Left-, middle-, or right-align the content between
+ %(align:...) and %(end). The "align:" is followed by `<width>`
+ and `<position>` in any order separated by a comma, where the
+ `<position>` is either left, right or middle, default being
+ left and `<width>` is the total length of the content with
+ alignment. If the contents length is more than the width then
+ no alignment is performed. If used with '--quote' everything
+ in between %(align:...) and %(end) is quoted, but if nested
+ then only the topmost level performs quoting.
+
In addition to the above, for commit and tag objects, the header
field names (`tree`, `parent`, `object`, `type`, and `tag`) can
be used to specify the value in the header field.
Its first line is `contents:subject`, where subject is the concatenation
of all lines of the commit message up to the first blank line. The next
line is 'contents:body', where body is all of the lines after the first
-blank line. Finally, the optional GPG signature is `contents:signature`.
+blank line. The optional GPG signature is `contents:signature`. The
+first `N` lines of the message is obtained using `contents:lines=N`.
For sorting purposes, fields with numeric values sort in numeric
order (`objectsize`, `authordate`, `committerdate`, `taggerdate`).
All other fields are used to sort in their byte-value order.
+There is also an option to sort by versions, this can be done by using
+the fieldname `version:refname` or its alias `v:refname`.
+
In any case, a field name that refers to a field inapplicable to
the object referred by the ref does not cause an error. It
returns an empty string instead.
