2 Show blank SHA-1 for boundary commits. This can also
3 be controlled via the `blame.blankboundary` config option.
6 Do not treat root commits as boundaries. This can also be
7 controlled via the `blame.showroot` config option.
10 Include additional statistics at the end of blame output.
13 Annotate only the given line range. <start> and <end> can take
18 If <start> or <end> is a number, it specifies an
19 absolute line number (lines count from 1).
24 This form will use the first line matching the given
25 POSIX regex. If <end> is a regex, it will search
26 starting at the line given by <start>.
31 This is only valid for <end> and will specify a number
32 of lines before or after the line given by <start>.
36 Show long rev (Default: off).
39 Show raw timestamp (Default: off).
42 Use revisions from revs-file instead of calling linkgit:git-rev-list[1].
45 Walk history forward instead of backward. Instead of showing
46 the revision in which a line appeared, this shows the last
47 revision in which a line has existed. This requires a range of
48 revision like START..END where the path to blame exists in
53 Show in a format designed for machine consumption.
56 Show the result incrementally in a format designed for
59 --encoding=<encoding>::
60 Specifies the encoding used to output author names
61 and commit summaries. Setting it to `none` makes blame
62 output unconverted data. For more information see the
63 discussion about encoding in the linkgit:git-log[1]
67 When <rev> is not specified, the command annotates the
68 changes starting backwards from the working tree copy.
69 This flag makes the command pretend as if the working
70 tree copy has the contents of the named file (specify
71 `-` to make the command read from the standard input).
74 The value is one of the following alternatives:
75 {relative,local,default,iso,rfc,short}. If --date is not
76 provided, the value of the blame.date config variable is
77 used. If the blame.date config variable is also not set, the
78 iso format is used. For more information, See the discussion
79 of the --date option at linkgit:git-log[1].
82 Detect moved or copied lines within a file. When a commit
83 moves or copies a block of lines (e.g. the original file
84 has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and then
85 A), the traditional 'blame' algorithm notices only half of
86 the movement and typically blames the lines that were moved
87 up (i.e. B) to the parent and assigns blame to the lines that
88 were moved down (i.e. A) to the child commit. With this
89 option, both groups of lines are blamed on the parent by
90 running extra passes of inspection.
92 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
93 alphanumeric characters that git must detect as moving/copying
94 within a file for it to associate those lines with the parent
95 commit. The default value is 20.
98 In addition to `-M`, detect lines moved or copied from other
99 files that were modified in the same commit. This is
100 useful when you reorganize your program and move code
101 around across files. When this option is given twice,
102 the command additionally looks for copies from other
103 files in the commit that creates the file. When this
104 option is given three times, the command additionally
105 looks for copies from other files in any commit.
107 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
108 alphanumeric characters that git must detect as moving/copying
109 between files for it to associate those lines with the parent
110 commit. And the default value is 40. If there are more than one
111 `-C` options given, the <num> argument of the last `-C` will
