Hi,
it seems that git show --first-parent is not documented in the man page.
This option is only documented for rev-list and log. I think that
- this example should land in Examples in git-show.txt
- --first-parent should be documented in git-show.txt because it (at
least to me, but I guess that for other people also) it isn't
immediately obvious that it means to _diff_ with the first parent.
