Syntax conventions

## Description

The graph show-ref command displays reference values, which is similar to the Git command git-show-ref.

## Options

`-n` | Applies to the repo with the specified name. If a repo name is specified, you have to have `read` permission for that repo. Otherwise you must be a `super` user.
`-a` | Displays all references from all repos.
`-u` | Displays only references readable by the user argument.
`-m` | Specifies the maximum references to display.
`-e nameFilter` | Lists references with a name that matches the nameFilter pattern using the server's normal case-sensitivity rules. For example: -e 'refs/heads/dev...'
`-E nameFilter` | Lists references with a name that matches the nameFilter pattern with case-insensitive matching, even on a case-sensitive server. For example: -E 'Refs/HEADS/Dev...' gets the same results as -e 'refs/heads/dev...'
