SYNOPSIS @@ -12,21 +12,74 @@ SYNOPSIS DESCRIPTION ----------- -Does something not yet documented. + +Many git Porcelainish commands take mixture of flags +(i.e. parameters that begin with a dash '-') and parameters +meant for underlying `git-rev-list` command they use internally +and flags and parameters for other commands they use as the +downstream of `git-rev-list`. This command is used to +distinguish between them. OPTIONS ------- ---option:: - Some option not yet documented. +--revs-only:: + Do not output flags and parameters not meant for + `git-rev-list` command. + +--no-revs:: + Do not output flags and parameters meant for + `git-rev-list` command. + +--flags:: + Do not output non-flag parameters. + +--no-flags:: + Do not output flag parameters. + +--default <arg>:: + If there is no parameter given by the user, use `<arg>` + instead. + +--verify:: + The parameter given must be usable as a single, valid + object name. Otherwise barf and abort. + +--sq:: + Usually the output is made one line per flag and + parameter. This option makes output a single line, + properly quoted for consumption by shell. Useful when + you expect your parameter to contain whitespaces and + newlines (e.g. when using pickaxe `-S` with + `git-diff-\*`). + +--not:: + When showing object names, prefix them with '^' and + strip '^' prefix from the object names that already have + one. + +--symbolic:: + Usually the object names are output in SHA1 form (with + possible '^' prefix); this option makes them output in a + form as close to the original input as possible. + + +--all:: + Show all refs found in `$GIT_DIR/refs`. + +--show-prefix:: + When the command is invoked from a directory show the + path of the current directory relative to the top-level + directory. <args>...:: - Some argument not yet documented. + Flags and parameters to be parsed.
