| 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"). |
