downstream of 'git rev-list'. The primary purpose of this command
is to allow calling programs to distinguish between them. There are
a few other operation modes that have nothing to do with the above

Unless otherwise specified, most of the options and operation modes
require you to run this command inside a git repository or a working
tree that is under the control of a git repository, and will give you
a fatal error otherwise.

--parseopt::
Use 'git rev-parse' in option parsing mode (see PARSEOPT section below).

a working tree controlled by a repository.
--sq-quote::
Use 'git rev-parse' in shell quoting mode (see SQ-QUOTE
section below). In contrast to the `--sq` option below, this
mode only does quoting. Nothing else is done to command input.
The command in this mode can be used outside a repository or
a working tree controlled by a repository.
