  19OPTIONS
  20-------
  21
  22--tags::
  23        Do not use branch names, but only tags to name the commits
  24
  25--all::
  26        List all commits reachable from all refs
  27
  28--stdin::
  29        Read from stdin, append "(<rev_name>)" to all sha1's of name'able
  30        commits, and pass to stdout
  31
  32EXAMPLE
  33-------
  34
  35Given a commit, find out where it is relative to the local refs. Say somebody
  36wrote you about that phantastic commit 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a.
  37Of course, you look into the commit, but that only tells you what happened, but
  38not the context.
  39
  40Enter git-name-rev:
  41
  42------------
  43% git name-rev 33db5f4d9027a10e477ccf054b2c1ab94f74c85a
  44------------
  45
  46Now you are wiser, because you know that it happened 940 revisions before v0.99.
  47
  48Another nice thing you can do is:
  49
  50------------
  51% git log | git name-rev --stdin
  52------------
