473<p>To control which revisions to show, gitk supports most options
474applicable to the <em>git rev-list</em> command. It also supports a few
475options applicable to the <em>git diff-*</em> commands to control how the
476changes each commit introduces are shown. Finally, it supports some
477gitk-specific options.</p>

479<div class="paragraph">
480<p>gitk generally only understands options with arguments in the
