DESCRIPTION
-----------
Shows the commit ancestry graph starting from the commits named
-with <rev>s or <globs>s (or all refs under $GIT_DIR/refs/heads
-and/or $GIT_DIR/refs/tags) semi-visually.
+with <rev>s or <globs>s (or all refs under refs/heads
+and/or refs/tags) semi-visually.
It cannot show more than 29 branches and commits at a time.
<glob>::
A glob pattern that matches branch or tag names under
- $GIT_DIR/refs. For example, if you have many topic
- branches under $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/topic, giving
+ refs/. For example, if you have many topic
+ branches under refs/heads/topic, giving
`topic/*` would show all of them.
-r::
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

If you keep your primary branches immediately under
-`$GIT_DIR/refs/heads`, and topic branches in subdirectories of
+`refs/heads`, and topic branches in subdirectories of
it, having the following in the configuration file may help:
