 621         A glob pattern that matches branch or tag names under
 622         refs/.  For example, if you have many topic
 623         branches under refs/heads/topic, giving
 624         <tt>topic/*</tt> would show all of them.

 654         With this option, the command includes the current

 664         By default, the branches and their commits are shown in
 665         reverse chronological order.  This option makes them
 666         appear in topological order (i.e., descendant commits
 667         are shown before their parents).

 671 --date-order

 673 <dd>
 674 <p>
 675         This option is similar to <em>--topo-order</em> in the sense that no
 676         parent comes before all of its children, but otherwise commits
 677         are ordered according to their commit date.

 685         By default, the output omits merges that are reachable

 687         visible.

 695         Usually the command stops output upon showing the commit
 696         that is the common ancestor of all the branches.  This
 697         flag tells the command to go &lt;n&gt; more common commits
 698         beyond that.  When &lt;n&gt; is negative, display only the
 699         &lt;reference&gt;s given, without showing the commit ancestry
 700         tree.

 716         Instead of showing the commit list, determine possible
 717         merge bases for the specified commits. All merge bases
 718         will be contained in all specified commits. This is
 719         different from how <a href="git-merge-base.html">git-merge-base(1)</a> handles
 720         the case of three or more commits.

 745         Instead of naming the commits using the path to reach
 746         them from heads (e.g. "master~2" to mean the grandparent
 747         of "master"), name them with the unique prefix of their

 756         Shows only commits that are NOT on the first branch given.
 757         This helps track topic branches by hiding any commit that
 758         is already in the main line of development.  When given
 759         "git show-branch --topics master topic1 topic2", this
 760         will show the revisions given by "git rev-list &#94;master
