+The '\--simplify-by-decoration' option allows you to view only the
460
+big picture of the topology of the history, by omitting commits
461
+that are not referenced by tags. Commits are marked as !TREESAME
462
+(in other words, kept after history simplification rules described
463
+above) if (1) they are referenced by tags, or (2) they change the
464
+contents of the paths given on the command line. All other
465
+commits are marked as TREESAME (subject to be simplified away).
