git-shortlog, like git-log, supports options to filter what commits are used to generate the log. These options come from git-rev-list, and are documented in Documentation/rev-list-options.txt. Include those options in shortlog's documentation. But since rev-list-options.txt contains some other options that don't really apply in the context of shortlog (like diff formatting, commit ordering, etc), add a switch in rev-list-options.txt that excludes those sections from the shortlog documentation. To be more specific, include only the "Commit Limiting" and "History Simplification" sections. Signed-off-by: Pratyush Yadav <me@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> --- Changes in v3: - Include the "History Simplification" section too. - Wrap each section in an ifdef individually to make it easier to move them around later.
