 OPTIONS
 -------
---pretty=<format>::
-       Controls the way the commit log is formatted.
 
---max-count=<n>::
+include::pretty-options.txt[]
+
+-<n>::
        Limits the number of commits to show.
 
 <since>..<until>::
-       Show only commits between the named two commits.
+       Show only commits between the named two commits.  When
+       either <since> or <until> is omitted, it defaults to
+       `HEAD`, i.e. the tip of the current branch.
+       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.
 
+-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.
