While git show accepts options that apply to the git diff-tree command, some options do not make sense in the context of git show. The options of git show are handled using the machinery of git log. The git log manual page is a better place to look into than git diff-tree for options that are not in the git show manual page.
Signed-off-by: Han Young <hanyang.tony@bytedance.com> --- Changes since v1: * change wording to clarify not all options of `git log` are meant for `git show`
