  10 --------
  11 'git show' [options] <object>...
  12
  13 DESCRIPTION
  14 -----------
  15 Shows one or more objects (blobs, trees, tags and commits).
  16
  17 For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. It also
  18 presents the merge commit in a special format as produced by
  19 'git diff-tree --cc'.
  20
  21 For tags, it shows the tag message and the referenced objects.
  22
  23 For trees, it shows the names (equivalent to 'git ls-tree'
  24 with \--name-only).
  25
  26 For plain blobs, it shows the plain contents.
  27
  28 The command takes options applicable to the 'git diff-tree' command to
  29 control how the changes the commit introduces are shown.
