22 git-name-rev \- Find symbolic names for given revs
26 \fIgit\-name\-rev\fR [\-\-tags] ( \-\-all | \-\-stdin | <commitish>... )
31 Finds symbolic names suitable for human digestion for revisions given in any format parsable by git\-rev\-parse\&.
37 Do not use branch names, but only tags to name the commits
41 List all commits reachable from all refs
45 Read from stdin, append "(<rev_name>)" to all sha1's of name'able commits, and pass to stdout
50 Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs\&. Say somebody wrote you about that phantastic commit 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a\&. Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but not the context\&.
56 % git name\-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a
60 Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0\&.99\&.
63 Another nice thing you can do is:
66 % git log | git name\-rev \-\-stdin
