Assuming you meant 'git log -1 ...' or similar. It won't do what you think it would do because:

* -1 is a revision traversal options.

* --reverse is an "output" option.

This means: First, revisions are collected, at which point -1 is honored. Second, the revisions found are listed in --reverse order.

When you have only one revision in the list, the output is the same with or without --reverse ;-)
