  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 are
  19 reachable from that commit. For commands that walk the revision graph one can
  20 also specify a range of revisions explicitly.
  21
  22 In addition, some Git commands (such as linkgit:git-show[1] and
  23 linkgit:git-push[1]) can also take revision parameters which denote
  24 other objects than commits, e.g. blobs ("files") or trees
  25 ("directories of files").
