<p>Tig is a git repository browser that additionally can act as a pager for output\r
of various git commands.</p>\r
<p>When browsing repositories, it uses the underlying git commands to present the\r

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\&.

you to specify two "\--" options. The first will make tig(1) stop
