1 -b::
2 Show blank SHA-1 for boundary commits. This can also
3 be controlled via the `blame.blankboundary` config option.
5 --root::
6 Do not treat root commits as boundaries. This can also be
7 controlled via the `blame.showroot` config option.
9 --show-stats::
10 Include additional statistics at the end of blame output.
12 -L <start>,<end>::
13 Annotate only the given line range. <start> and <end> can take
14 one of these forms:
16 - number
17 +
18 If <start> or <end> is a number, it specifies an
19 absolute line number (lines count from 1).
20 +
22 - /regex/
23 +
24 This form will use the first line matching the given
25 POSIX regex. If <end> is a regex, it will search
26 starting at the line given by <start>.
27 +
29 - +offset or -offset
30 +
31 This is only valid for <end> and will specify a number
32 of lines before or after the line given by <start>.
33 +
35 -l::
36 Show long rev (Default: off).
38 -t::
39 Show raw timestamp (Default: off).
41 -S <revs-file>::
42 Use revs from revs-file instead of calling linkgit:git-rev-list[1].
44 --reverse::
45 Walk history forward instead of backward. Instead of showing
46 the revision in which a line appeared, this shows the last
47 revision in which a line has existed. This requires a range of
48 revision like START..END where the path to blame exists in
49 START.
51 -p::
52 --porcelain::
53 Show in a format designed for machine consumption.
55 --incremental::
56 Show the result incrementally in a format designed for
57 machine consumption.
59 --encoding=<encoding>::
60 Specifies the encoding used to output author names
61 and commit summaries. Setting it to `none` makes blame
62 output unconverted data. For more information see the
63 discussion about encoding in the linkgit:git-log[1]
64 manual page.
66 --contents <file>::
67 When <rev> is not specified, the command annotates the
68 changes starting backwards from the working tree copy.
69 This flag makes the command pretend as if the working
70 tree copy has the contents of the named file (specify
71 `-` to make the command read from the standard input).
73 -M|<num>|::
74 Detect moving lines in the file as well. When a commit
75 moves a block of lines in a file (e.g. the original file
76 has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and
77 then A), the traditional 'blame' algorithm typically blames
78 the lines that were moved up (i.e. B) to the parent and
79 assigns blame to the lines that were moved down (i.e. A)
80 to the child commit. With this option, both groups of lines
81 are blamed on the parent.
82 +
83 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
84 alphanumeric characters that git must detect as moving
85 within a file for it to associate those lines with the parent
86 commit.
88 -C|<num>|::
89 In addition to `-M`, detect lines copied from other
90 files that were modified in the same commit. This is
91 useful when you reorganize your program and move code
92 around across files. When this option is given twice,
93 the command additionally looks for copies from all other
94 files in the parent for the commit that creates the file.
95 +
96 <num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
97 alphanumeric characters that git must detect as moving
98 between files for it to associate those lines with the parent
99 commit.
