  13 DESCRIPTION
  14 -----------
  15
  16 Many Git commands take revision parameters as arguments. Depending on
  17 the command, they denote a specific commit or, for commands which
  18 walk the revision graph (such as linkgit:git-log[1]), all commits which can
  19 be reached from that commit. In the latter case one can also specify a
  20 range of revisions explicitly.
  21
  22 In addition, some Git commands (such as linkgit:git-show[1]) also take
  23 revision parameters which denote other objects than commits, e.g. blobs
  24 ("files") or trees ("directories of files").
