 git-rev-list(1) Manual Page
 </h1>
 <h2>NAME</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>git-rev-list -
  Lists commit objects in reverse chronological order
 </p>
 </div>
 </div>
 <h2>SYNOPSIS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <div class="verseblock">
 <div class="content"><em>git-rev-list</em> [ --max-count=number ]
  [ --max-age=timestamp ]
  [ --min-age=timestamp ]
  [ --sparse ]
  [ --no-merges ]
  [ --remove-empty ]
  [ --all ]
  [ --topo-order ]
  [ --parents ]

  [ --pretty | --header ]
  [ --bisect ]
  &lt;commit&gt;&#8230; [ -- &lt;paths&gt;&#8230; ]</div></div>
 </div>
 <h2>DESCRIPTION</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <p>Lists commit objects in reverse chronological order starting at the
 given commit(s), taking ancestry relationship into account. This is
 useful to produce human-readable log output.</p>
 <p>Commits which are stated with a preceding <em>^</em> cause listing to stop at
 that point. Their parents are implied. "git-rev-list foo bar ^baz" thus
 means "list all the commits which are included in <em>foo</em> and <em>bar</em>, but
 not in <em>baz</em>".</p>
 <p>A special notation &lt;commit1&gt;..&lt;commit2&gt; can be used as a
 short-hand for ^&lt;commit1&gt; &lt;commit2&gt;.</p>
 </div>
 <h2>OPTIONS</h2>
 <div class="sectionbody">
 <dl>
 <dt>
 --pretty
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Print the contents of the commit changesets in human-readable form.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --header
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Print the contents of the commit in raw-format; each
  record is separated with a NUL character.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --objects
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Print the object IDs of any object referenced by the listed commits.
  <em>git-rev-list --objects foo ^bar</em> thus means "send me all object IDs
  which I need to download if I have the commit object <em>bar</em>, but
  not <em>foo</em>".
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --objects-edge
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Similar to <tt>--objects</tt>, but also print the IDs of
  excluded commits refixed with a <tt>-</tt> character. This is
  used by <tt>git-pack-objects</tt> to build <em>thin</em> pack, which
  records objects in deltified form based on objects
  contained in these excluded commits to reduce network
  traffic.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --unpacked
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Only useful with <tt>--objects</tt>; print the object IDs that
  are not in packs.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --bisect
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Limit output to the one commit object which is roughly halfway
  between the included and excluded commits. Thus, if <em>git-rev-list
  --bisect foo ^bar ^baz</em> outputs <em>midpoint</em>, the output
  of <em>git-rev-list foo ^midpoint</em> and <em>git-rev-list midpoint
  ^bar ^baz</em> would be of roughly the same length.
  Finding the change
  which introduces a regression is thus reduced to a binary search:
  repeatedly generate and test new 'midpoint's until the commit chain
  is of length one.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --max-count
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Limit the number of commits output.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --max-age=timestamp, --min-age=timestamp
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Limit the commits output to specified time range.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --sparse
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  When optional paths are given, the command outputs only
  the commits that changes at least one of them, and also
  ignores merges that do not touch the given paths. This
  flag makes the command output all eligible commits
  (still subject to count and age limitation), but apply
  merge simplification nevertheless.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --remove-empty
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Stop when a given path disappears from the tree.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --all
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  Pretend as if all the refs in <tt>$GIT_DIR/refs/</tt> are
  listed on the command line as &lt;commit&gt;.
 </p>
 </dd>
 <dt>
 --topo-order
 </dt>
 <dd>
 <p>
  By default, the commits are shown in reverse
  chronological order. This option makes them appear in
  topological order (i.e. descendant commits are shown
  before their parents).

 </dd>
