DESCRIPTION
appear in topological order (i.e., descendant commits
are shown before their parents).
+--date-order::
+ This option is similar to '--topo-order' in the sense that no
+ parent comes before all of its children, but otherwise commits
+ are ordered according to their commit date.
+
--sparse::
By default, the output omits merges that are reachable
from only one tip being shown. This option makes them
Synonym to `--more=-1`
--merge-base::
- Instead of showing the commit list, just act like the
- 'git-merge-base -a' command, except that it can accept
- more than two heads.
+ Instead of showing the commit list, determine possible
+ merge bases for the specified commits. All merge bases
+ will be contained in all specified commits. This is
+ different from how linkgit:git-merge-base[1] handles
+ the case of three or more commits.
--independent::
Among the <reference>s given, display only the ones that
will show the revisions given by "git rev-list {caret}master
topic1 topic2"
+-g::
--reflog[=<n>[,<base>]] [<ref>]::
Shows <n> most recent ref-log entries for the given
ref. If <base> is given, <n> entries going back from
that entry. <base> can be specified as count or date.
- `-g` can be used as a short-hand for this option. When
- no explicit <ref> parameter is given, it defaults to the
+ When no explicit <ref> parameter is given, it defaults to the
current branch (or `HEAD` if it is detached).
+--color::
+ Color the status sign (one of these: `*` `!` `+` `-`) of each commit
+ corresponding to the branch it's in.
+
+--no-color::
+ Turn off colored output, even when the configuration file gives the
+ default to color output.
+
Note that --more, --list, --independent and --merge-base options
are mutually exclusive.
------------------------------------------------
These three branches all forked from a common commit, [master],
-whose commit message is "Add 'git show-branch'. "fixes" branch
-adds one commit 'Introduce "reset type"'. "mhf" branch has many
-other commits. The current branch is "master".
+whose commit message is "Add \'git show-branch\'". The "fixes"
+branch adds one commit "Introduce "reset type" flag to "git reset"".
+The "mhf" branch adds many other commits. The current branch
+is "master".
EXAMPLE
your topic branch, it is shown as well.
------------
-$ git show-branch --reflog='10,1 hour ago' --list master
+$ git show-branch --reflog="10,1 hour ago" --list master
------------
shows 10 reflog entries going back from the tip as of 1 hour ago.
