DESCRIPTION
-----------
-d, --dereference::
- Dereference tags into object IDs. They will be shown with "^{}"
+ Dereference tags into object IDs as well. They will be shown with "^{}"
appended.
+-s, --hash::
+
+ Only show the SHA1 hash, not the reference name. When also using
+ --dereference the dereferenced tag will still be shown after the SHA1.
+
--verify::
Enable stricter reference checking by requiring an exact ref path.
Aside from returning an error code of 1, it will also print an error
message if '--quiet' was not specified.
+--abbrev, --abbrev=len::
+
+ Abbreviate the object name. When using `--hash`, you do
+ not have to say `--hash --abbrev`; `--hash=len` would do.
+
-q, --quiet::
Do not print any results to stdout. When combined with '--verify' this
