I did not realize that at first (I thought this would be a fallback
method). 

Anyway, on git 1.2.3, here is something interesting:

>> git log -h
fatal: Not a git repository

>> git log --help
Usage: /home/sebastien/Local/bin/git-log [--max-count=<n>]
[<since>..<limit>] [--pretty=<format>] [git-rev-list options]

Which is confusing, so having a consistent behaviour for "git help cmd",
"git cmd help", "git cmd -h" and "git cmd --help" would be nice.

For instance, Darcs works just like that, which makes it easy for
newbies to find there ways through.
