 479         the history between two branches (i.e. the HEAD and the MERGE_HEAD)
 480         that modify the conflicted files and do not exist on all the heads

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

 512         the form "<em>&lt;from&gt;</em>..<em>&lt;to&gt;</em>" to show all revisions between <em>&lt;from&gt;</em> and
 513         back to <em>&lt;to&gt;</em>. Note, more advanced revision selection can be applied.
