| gitrevisions - specifying revisions and ranges for Git |
| Many Git commands take revision parameters as arguments. Depending on |
| the command, they denote a specific commit or, for commands which |
| walk the revision graph (such as linkgit:git-log[1]), all commits which can |
| be reached from that commit. In the latter case one can also specify a |
| range of revisions explicitly. |
| In addition, some Git commands (such as linkgit:git-show[1]) also take |
| revision parameters which denote other objects than commits, e.g. blobs |
| ("files") or trees ("directories of files"). |
