+To control which revisions to show, the command takes options applicable to
+the 'git-rev-list' command (see linkgit:git-rev-list[1]).
+This manual page describes only the most
frequently used options.
--n <number>, --max-count=<number>::
+-n <number>::
+--max-count=<number>::
Limits the number of commits to show.
Show all branches.
+--merge::
+
+ After an attempt to merge stops with conflicts, show the commits on
+ the history between two branches (i.e. the HEAD and the MERGE_HEAD)
+ that modify the conflicted files.
+
+--argscmd=<command>::
+ Command to be run each time gitk has to determine the list of
+ <revs> to show. The command is expected to print on its standard
+ output a list of additional revs to be shown, one per line.
+ Use this instead of explicitly specifying <revs> if the set of
+ commits to show may vary between refreshes.
+
+--select-commit=<ref>::
+
+ Automatically select the specified commit after loading the graph.
+ Default behavior is equivalent to specifying '--select-commit=HEAD'.
+
<revs>::
Limit the revisions to show. This can be either a single revision
the form "'<from>'..'<to>'" to show all revisions between '<from>' and
back to '<to>'. Note, more advanced revision selection can be applied.

+gitk --max-count=100 --all \-- Makefile::
