--merged [<object>]::
Only list refs whose tips are reachable from the
- specified commit (HEAD if not specified).
+ specified commit (HEAD if not specified),
+ incompatible with `--no-merged`.
--no-merged [<object>]::
Only list refs whose tips are not reachable from the
- specified commit (HEAD if not specified).
+ specified commit (HEAD if not specified),
+ incompatible with `--merged`.
--contains [<object>]::
Only list refs which contain the specified commit (HEAD if not
specified).
+--no-contains [<object>]::
+ Only list refs which don't contain the specified commit (HEAD
+ if not specified).

--ignore-case::
Sorting and filtering refs are case insensitive.
The name of the ref (the part after $GIT_DIR/).
For a non-ambiguous short name of the ref append `:short`.
The option core.warnAmbiguousRefs is used to select the strict
- abbreviation mode. If `lstrip=<N>` is appended, strips `<N>`
- slash-separated path components from the front of the refname
- (e.g., `%(refname:lstrip=2)` turns `refs/tags/foo` into `foo`.
- `<N>` must be a positive integer. If a displayed ref has fewer
- components than `<N>`, the command aborts with an error.
+ abbreviation mode. If `lstrip=<N>` (`rstrip=<N>`) is appended, strips `<N>`
+ slash-separated path components from the front (back) of the refname
+ (e.g. `%(refname:lstrip=2)` turns `refs/tags/foo` into `foo` and
+ `%(refname:rstrip=2)` turns `refs/tags/foo` into `refs`).
+ If `<N>` is a negative number, strip as many path components as
+ necessary from the specified end to leave `-<N>` path components
+ (e.g. `%(refname:lstrip=-2)` turns
+ `refs/tags/foo` into `tags/foo` and `%(refname:rstrip=-1)`
+ turns `refs/tags/foo` into `refs`). When the ref does not have
+ enough components, the result becomes an empty string if
+ stripping with positive <N>, or it becomes the full refname if
+ stripping with negative <N>. Neither is an error.

+`strip` can be used as a synomym to `lstrip`.
objecttype::
The type of the object (`blob`, `tree`, `commit`, `tag`).
upstream::
The name of a local ref which can be considered ``upstream''
- from the displayed ref. Respects `:short` and `:lstrip` in the
- same way as `refname` above. Additionally respects `:track`
- to show "[ahead N, behind M]" and `:trackshort` to show the
- terse version: ">" (ahead), "<" (behind), "<>" (ahead and
- behind), or "=" (in sync). `:track` also prints "[gone]"
- whenever unknown upstream ref is encountered. Append
- `:track,nobracket` to show tracking information without
- brackets (i.e "ahead N, behind M"). Has no effect if the ref
- does not have tracking information associated with it. All
- the options apart from `nobracket` are mutually exclusive, but
- if used together the last option is selected.

push::
The name of a local ref which represents the `@{push}`
location for the displayed ref. Respects `:short`, `:lstrip`,
- `:track`, and `:trackshort` options as `upstream`
+ `:rstrip`, `:track`, and `:trackshort` options as `upstream`
does. Produces an empty string if no `@{push}` ref is
configured.
symref::
The ref which the given symbolic ref refers to. If not a
- symbolic ref, nothing is printed. Respects the `:short` and
- `:lstrip` options in the same way as `refname` above.
