+-b::
+ Show blank SHA-1 for boundary commits. This can also
+ be controlled via the `blame.blankboundary` config option.
+
+--root::
+ Do not treat root commits as boundaries. This can also be
+ controlled via the `blame.showroot` config option.
+
+--show-stats::
+ Include additional statistics at the end of blame output.
+
+-L <start>,<end>::
+ Annotate only the given line range. <start> and <end> can take
+ one of these forms:
+
+ - number
++
+If <start> or <end> is a number, it specifies an
+absolute line number (lines count from 1).
++
+
+- /regex/
++
+This form will use the first line matching the given
+POSIX regex. If <end> is a regex, it will search
+starting at the line given by <start>.
++
+
+- +offset or -offset
++
+This is only valid for <end> and will specify a number
+of lines before or after the line given by <start>.
++
+
+-l::
+ Show long rev (Default: off).
+
+-t::
+ Show raw timestamp (Default: off).
+
+-S <revs-file>::
+ Use revs from revs-file instead of calling linkgit:git-rev-list[1].
+
+-p, --porcelain::
+ Show in a format designed for machine consumption.
+
+--incremental::
+ Show the result incrementally in a format designed for
+ machine consumption.
+
+--contents <file>::
+ When <rev> is not specified, the command annotates the
+ changes starting backwards from the working tree copy.
+ This flag makes the command pretend as if the working
+ tree copy has the contents of the named file (specify
+ `-` to make the command read from the standard input).
+
+-M|<num>|::
+ Detect moving lines in the file as well. When a commit
+ moves a block of lines in a file (e.g. the original file
+ has A and then B, and the commit changes it to B and
+ then A), traditional 'blame' algorithm typically blames
+ the lines that were moved up (i.e. B) to the parent and
+ assigns blame to the lines that were moved down (i.e. A)
+ to the child commit. With this option, both groups of lines
+ are blamed on the parent.
++
+<num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
+alphanumeric characters that git must detect as moving
+within a file for it to associate those lines with the parent
+commit.
+
+-C|<num>|::
+ In addition to `-M`, detect lines copied from other
+ files that were modified in the same commit. This is
+ useful when you reorganize your program and move code
+ around across files. When this option is given twice,
+ the command looks for copies from all other files in the
+ parent for the commit that creates the file in addition.
++
+<num> is optional but it is the lower bound on the number of
+alphanumeric characters that git must detect as moving
+between files for it to associate those lines with the parent
+commit.
+
+-h, --help::
+ Show help message.
