downloadgit-cb/do-not-pretend-to-hijack-long-help.tar.gz
use -h for synopsis and --help for manpage consistentlycb/do-not-pretend-to-hijack-long-help
A few scripted Porcelain implementations pretend as if the routine to show their own help messages are triggered upon "git cmd --help", but a command line parser of "git" will hijack such a request and shows the manpage for the cmd subcommand. Leaving the code to handle such input is simply misleading. Signed-off-by: Clemens Buchacher <drizzd@aon.at> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
