git-show-branch(1)
==================
-v0.99.4, Aug 2005
NAME
----
SYNOPSIS
--------
-'git show-branch [--all] [--heads] [--tags] [--more=<n>] [--merge-base] <reference>...'
+'git-show-branch [--all] [--heads] [--tags] [--more=<n> | --list | --independent | --merge-base] [--no-name | --sha1-name] <reference>...'
DESCRIPTION
-----------
--more=<n>::
Usually the command stops output upon showing the commit
that is the common ancestor of all the branches. This
- flag tells the command to go <n> commits beyond that.
+ flag tells the command to go <n> more common commits
+ beyond that. When <n> is negative, display only the
+ <reference>s given, without showing the commit ancestry
+ tree.
+
+--list::
+ Synomym to `--more=-1`
--merge-base::
Instead of showing the commit list, just act like the
- 'git-merge-base' command except that it can accept more
- than two heads.
+ 'git-merge-base -a' command, except that it can accept
+ more than two heads.
+
+--independent::
+ Among the <reference>s given, display only the ones that
+ cannot be reached from any other <reference>.
+
+--no-name::
+ Do not show naming strings for each commit.
+
+--sha1-name::
+ Instead of naming the commits using the path to reach
+ them from heads (e.g. "master~2" to mean the grandparent
+ of "master"), name them with the unique prefix of their
+ object names.
+
+Note that --more, --list, --independent and --merge-base options
+are mutually exclusive.
OUTPUT
adds one commit 'Introduce "reset type"'. "mhf" branch has many
other commits.
-When only one head is given, the output format changes slightly
-to conserve space. The '+' sign to show which commit is
-reachable from which head and the first N lines to show the list
-of heads being displayed are both meaningless so they are
-omitted. Also the label given to each commit does not repeat
-the name of the branch because it is obvious.
