This makes no sense, as is not a documented valid command line parameter. These are the documented parameters: SYNOPSIS git log [] [] [[--] ...] Even if it means , which is my best guess, it still makes no sense as cannot be a list of many refs. I suspect both the documentation for "--all" and the documentation for the basic options are either incorrect, or confusing by using multiple names for the same thing. I'm using git 1.9.2 Francis
