 ~~~~~~
 	Prints the git log of the named topgit branch.
 
-	Note: if you have shared the TopGit branch, this command
-	only lists the commits that were made in the current
-	repository, so you will not see work done by your
-	collaborators.
+	Note: that you don't see changes made by the remote
+	when the topic diverged at both sides. Any 'fast-forward'
+	updates from remote topics will shown up. This could also
+	mean, that you 'lose' all your history, because the remote
+	made the merge and you do only a 'fast-forward'. Than you
+	will see only his history from now on. So its best to prevent
+	diverging development if you like to 'preserve' the full
+	history. Please note, that 'lose' and 'preserve' only relates
+	to when showing the log.
