-<n>::
Limits the number of commits to show.
-<n>::

Show only commits between the named two commits. When
either <since> or <until> is omitted, it defaults to

+ For a more complete list of ways to spell <since>
+ and <until>, see "SPECIFYING REVISIONS" section in
+ gitlink:git-rev-parse[1].
+
+--first-parent::
+ Follow only the first parent commit upon seeing a merge
+ commit. This option gives a better overview of the
+ evolution of a particular branch.
-p::
Show the change the commit introduces in a patch form.
-p::
Show the change the commit introduces in a patch form.
+-g, \--walk-reflogs::
+ Show commits as they were recorded in the reflog. The log contains
+ a record about how the tip of a reference was changed.
+ Cannot be combined with --reverse.
+ See also gitlink:git-reflog[1].
+
+--decorate::
+ Print out the ref names of any commits that are shown.
+
+--full-diff::
+ Without this flag, "git log -p <paths>..." shows commits that
+ touch the specified paths, and diffs about the same specified
+ paths. With this, the full diff is shown for commits that touch
+ the specified paths; this means that "<paths>..." limits only
+ commits, and doesn't limit diff for those commits.
+
+--follow::
+ Continue listing the history of a file beyond renames.
+
+--log-size::
+ Before the log message print out its size in bytes. Intended
+ mainly for porcelain tools consumption. If git is unable to
+ produce a valid value size is set to zero.
+ Note that only message is considered, if also a diff is shown
+ its size is not included.
+
<paths>...::
Show only commits that affect the specified paths.
