I've somewhat updated git-rev-list documentation and tried to categorize the options into commit selectors and presentation modifiers. The documentation for commands you mentioned in your message all talk about them describing only frequently used options, and refer the user to rev-list documentation. I am not sure this would be enough. One good thing to have would be to add a section to Tutorial. Currently we cover building a small project from scratch and have the readers graduate when they learn basic commit swapping, but we do not talk much about archaeology tools. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.htmlReceived on Mon Oct 31 14:09:23 2005
