AR
1-b::
2 Show blank SHA-1 for boundary commits. This can also
3 be controlled via the `blame.blankboundary` config option.
4
5--root::
6 Do not treat root commits as boundaries. This can also be
7 controlled via the `blame.showroot` config option.
8
9--show-stats::
10 Include additional statistics at the end of blame output.
11
12-L n,m::
13 Annotate only the specified line range (lines count from 1).
14
15-l::
16 Show long rev (Default: off).
17
18-t::
19 Show raw timestamp (Default: off).
20
21-S <revs-file>::
22 Use revs from revs-file instead of calling gitlink:git-rev-list[1].
23
24-p, --porcelain::
25 Show in a format designed for machine consumption.
26
27--incremental::
28 Show the result incrementally in a format designed for
29 machine consumption.
30
31--contents <file>::
32 When <rev> is not specified, the command annotates the
33 changes starting backwards from the working tree copy.
34 This flag makes the command pretend as if the working
35 tree copy has the contents of he named file (specify
36 `-` to make the command read from the standard input).
37
38-M|<num>|::
39 Detect moving lines in the file as well. When a commit
40 moves a block of lines in a file (e.g. the original file
41 has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and
42 then A), traditional 'blame' algorithm typically blames
43 the lines that were moved up (i.e. B) to the parent and
44 assigns blame to the lines that were moved down (i.e. A)
45 to the child commit. With this option, both groups of lines
46 are blamed on the parent.
47
48 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
49 alphanumeric characters that git must detect as moving
50 within a file for it to associate those lines with the parent
51 commit.
52
53-C|<num>|::
54 In addition to `-M`, detect lines copied from other
55 files that were modified in the same commit. This is
56 useful when you reorganize your program and move code
57 around across files. When this option is given twice,
58 the command looks for copies from all other files in the
59 parent for the commit that creates the file in addition.
60
61 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
62 alphanumeric characters that git must detect as moving
63 between files for it to associate those lines with the parent
64 commit.
65
66-h, --help::
67 Show help message.
