The log view
To avoid ambiguity with repository references such as tag name, be sure to separate file names from other git options using "\-\-"\&. So if you have a file named \fImaster\fR it will clash with the reference named \fImaster\fR, and thus you will have to use:
.nf
-$ tag log \-\- master
+$ tig log \-\- master
.fi
.RS
If you are only interested in changed that happened between two dates you can use:
.nf
-$ tig \-\- \-\-after=may\&.5th \-\-before=2006\-05\-16\&.15:44
+$ tig \-\- \-\-after=May\&.5th \-\-before=2006\-05\-16\&.15:44
.fi
.RS
.Sh "Note"
-The dot ("\&.") is used as a separator instead of a space to avoid having to quote the option value\&.
+The dot ("\&.") is used as a separator instead of a space to avoid having to quote the option value\&. If you prefer use \-\-after="May 5th" instead of \-\-after="May 5th"\&.
