This command is used to +distinguish between them.

Otherwise barf and abort. + +--sq:: + Usually the output is made one line per flag and + parameter. This option makes output a single line, + properly quoted for consumption by shell. Useful when + you expect your parameter to contain whitespaces and + newlines (e.g. when using pickaxe `-S` with + `git-diff-\*`). + +--not:: + When showing object names, prefix them with '^' and + strip '^' prefix from the object names that already have + one. + +--symbolic:: + Usually the object names are output in SHA1 form (with + possible '^' prefix); this option makes them output in a + form as close to the original input as possible. + + +--all:: + Show all refs found in `$GIT_DIR/refs`. + +--show-prefix:: + When the command is invoked from a directory show the + path of the current directory relative to the top-level + directory. <args>...:: - Some argument not yet documented. + Flags and parameters to be parsed.
