Subject: [PATCH] git-show: grok blobs, trees and tags, too
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0612141129320.3635@wbgn013.biozentrum.uni-wuerzburg.de>


Since git-show is pure Porcelain, it is the ideal candidate to
pretty print other things than commits, too.

 NAME
 ----
-git-show - Show one commit with difference it introduces
+git-show - Show blobs, trees, tags and commits with difference they introduce
 
 
 SYNOPSIS
 --------
-'git-show' <option>...
+'git-show' [options] <object>...
 
 DESCRIPTION
 -----------
-Shows commit log and textual diff for a single commit.  The
-command internally invokes 'git-rev-list' piped to
-'git-diff-tree', and takes command line options for both of
-these commands. It also presents the merge commit in a special
-format as produced by 'git-diff-tree --cc'.
+Shows one or more objects.
+
+For commits it shows the log message and textual diff. It also
+presents the merge commit in a special format as produced by
+'git-diff-tree --cc'.
+
+For tags, it shows the tag message and the referenced objects.
+
+For trees, it shows the names (equivalent to gitlink:git-ls-tree[1]
+with \--name-only).
+
+For plain blobs, it shows the plain contents.
 
 This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
