Assuming you meant 'git log -1 ...' or similar. It won't do what you think
it would do because:
* -1 is a revision traversal options.
* --reverse is an "output" option.
This means: First, revisions are collected, at which point -1 is honored.
Second, the revisions found are listed in --reverse order.
When you have only one revision in the list, the output is the same with
or without --reverse ;-)
