 SYNOPSIS
 --------
-'git show-branch [--all] [--heads] [--tags] [--more=<n> | --list | --independent | --merge-base] <reference>...'

 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-Shows the head commits from the named <reference> (or all refs under
-$GIT_DIR/refs/heads), and displays concise list of commit logs
-to show their relationship semi-visually.
+
+Shows the commit ancestry graph starting from the commits named
+with <rev>s or <globs>s (or all refs under $GIT_DIR/refs/heads
+and/or $GIT_DIR/refs/tags) semi-visually.
+
+It cannot show more than 29 branches and commits at a time.

 OPTIONS
 -------
-<reference>::
-	Name of the reference under $GIT_DIR/refs/.
+<rev>::
+	Arbitrary extended SHA1 expression (see `git-rev-parse`)
+	that typically names a branch HEAD or a tag.
+
+<glob>::
+	A glob pattern that matches branch or tag names under
+	$GIT_DIR/refs.  For example, if you have many topic
+	branches under $GIT_DIR/refs/heads/topic, giving
+	`topic/*` would show all of them.
 
 --all --heads --tags::
 	Show all refs under $GIT_DIR/refs, $GIT_DIR/refs/heads,
 	and $GIT_DIR/refs/tags, respectively.
 
+--topo-order::
+        By default, the branches and their commits are shown in
+        reverse chronological order.  This option makes them
+        appear in topological order (i.e., descendant commits
+        are shown before their parents).
+
 --more=<n>::
 	Usually the command stops output upon showing the commit
 	that is the common ancestor of all the branches.  This

 	Among the <reference>s given, display only the ones that

+--no-name::
+	Do not show naming strings for each commit.
+
+--sha1-name::
+	Instead of naming the commits using the path to reach
+	them from heads (e.g. "master~2" to mean the grandparent
+	of "master"), name them with the unique prefix of their
+	object names.

-When only one head is given, the output format changes slightly
