Shawn O. Pearce 41a5564e05 Refer users to git-rev-parse for revision specification syntax.
The revision specification syntax (sometimes referred to as
SHA1-expressions) is accepted almost everywhere in Git by
almost every tool.  Unfortunately it is only documented in
git-rev-parse.txt, and most users don't know to look there.

DESCRIPTION
-----------
Shows one or more objects (blobs, trees, tags and commits).
For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. It also
presents the merge commit in a special format as produced by

For tags, it shows the tag message and the referenced objects.
For trees, it shows the names (equivalent to gitlink:git-ls-tree[1]
with \--name-only).
For plain blobs, it shows the plain contents.
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
