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"). + +include::revisions.txt[] + + +SEE ALSO +-------- +linkgit:git-rev-parse[1] + +GIT +--- +Part of the linkgit:git[1] suite
