I reckon the simple difference is that contrary to `git log`, `git rev-list` makes no implicit assumption about what "ref" (a Git's parlance for anything which references a commit - such as a branch or a tag). That is, if you don't tell `git log` what commit(s) to start traversing the history graph from, it assumes the HEAD ref, but `git rev-list` expects one or more things resolvable to a commit or one or more special options which allow to specify a group of refs: "--all", "--branches[=pattern]" and/or "--tags[=pattern]". So your encantation for `git rev-list` would be $ git rev-list --max-count=3 HEAD Please consult `git help rev-list` and `git help revisions` for more info. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.

[git-users] bug with --max-count option in "git rev-list" command
Hi there I’m running git rev-list command and getting usage message instead of normal output: git rev-list --max-count=3 usage: git rev-list [OPTION] ... [ -- paths... ] limiting output: --max-count= --max-age= --min-age= --sparse --no-merges --min-parents= Same option works fine with git log. git log --max-count=3 commit 9e4734508472b9eb7358ef2e9d46645da84c40a9 (*HEAD ->* *develop*, *origin/develop*, *origin/HEAD*) . . . . I’m using Git version 2.19.0 on MacOS High Sierra 10.13.6 Any ideas, suggestions regarding whether this has been noticed and ETA for resolution? -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Git for human beings" group.
