+--date={relative,local,default,iso,rfc,short}::
Only takes effect for dates shown in human-readable format, such
- as when using "--pretty".
+ as when using "--pretty". `log.date` config variable sets a default
+ value for log command's --date option.

`--date=relative` shows dates relative to the current time,
e.g. "2 hours ago".
`--date=default` shows timestamps in the original timezone
(either committer's or author's).
+ifdef::git-rev-list[]
--header::
Print the contents of the commit in raw-format; each record is
separated with a NUL character.
+endif::git-rev-list[]
--parents::
Print the parents of the commit.
+ifdef::git-rev-list[]
--timestamp::
Print the raw commit timestamp.

+--graph::
+
+ Draw a text-based graphical representation of the commit history
+ on the left hand side of the output. This may cause extra lines
+ to be printed in between commits, in order for the graph history

++
+This implies the '--topo-order' option by default, but the

--
--n 'number', --max-count='number'::
+-n 'number'::
+--max-count='number'::
Limit the number of commits output.
Skip 'number' commits before starting to show the commit output.
---since='date', --after='date'::
+--since='date'::
+--after='date'::
Show commits more recent than a specific date.
---until='date', --before='date'::
+--until='date'::
+--before='date'::
Show commits older than a specific date.
---max-age='timestamp', --min-age='timestamp'::
+ifdef::git-rev-list[]
+--max-age='timestamp'::
+--min-age='timestamp'::
Limit the commits output to specified time range.
+endif::git-rev-list[]
---author='pattern', --committer='pattern'::
+--author='pattern'::
+--committer='pattern'::
Limit the commits output to ones with author/committer
header lines that match the specified pattern (regular expression).
Limit the commits output to ones with log message that
matches the specified pattern (regular expression).
--i, --regexp-ignore-case::
+-i::
+--regexp-ignore-case::
Match the regexp limiting patterns without regard to letters case.
--E, --extended-regexp::
+-E::
+--extended-regexp::
Consider the limiting patterns to be extended regular expressions
instead of the default basic regular expressions.
--F, --fixed-strings::
+-F::
+--fixed-strings::
Consider the limiting patterns to be fixed strings (don't interpret
pattern as a regular expression).
Pretend as if all the refs in `$GIT_DIR/refs/` are listed on the
command line as '<commit>'.
+ifdef::git-rev-list[]
--stdin::
In addition to the '<commit>' listed on the command
test the exit status to see if a range of objects is fully
connected (or not). It is faster than redirecting stdout
to /dev/null as the output does not have to be formatted.
+endif::git-rev-list[]
--cherry-pick::
from branch A). With this option, such pairs of commits are
excluded from the output.
--g, --walk-reflogs::
+-g::
+--walk-reflogs::
Instead of walking the commit ancestry chain, walk
reflog entries from the most recent one to older ones.
Output uninteresting commits at the boundary, which are usually
not shown.
---dense, --sparse::
+--dense::
+--sparse::
When optional paths are given, the default behaviour ('--dense') is to
only output commits that changes at least one of them, and also ignore
