Well, they really _are_ there, indirectly:

	The command takes options applicable to the git-rev-list(1) command 
	to control what is shown and how, and options applicable to the 
	git-diff-tree(1) commands to control how the change each commit 
	introduces are shown.

so you have to look at both git-rev-list and git-diff-tree to get all the options.

It then goes on to say:

	This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
	                           ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

so technically it's complete and true.

But yeah, maybe we could include all the options there.
