 477         that modify the conflicted files and do not exist on all the heads

 486         Command to be run each time gitk has to determine the list of
 487         &lt;revs&gt; to show.  The command is expected to print on its standard
 488         output a list of additional revs to be shown, one per line.
 489         Use this instead of explicitly specifying &lt;revs&gt; if the set of
 490         commits to show may vary between refreshes.

 508         meaning show from the given revision and back, or it can be a range in
 509         the form "<em>&lt;from&gt;</em>..<em>&lt;to&gt;</em>" to show all revisions between <em>&lt;from&gt;</em> and
 510         back to <em>&lt;to&gt;</em>. Note, more advanced revision selection can be applied.
