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").
