From: David Aguilar Date: Tue, 01 Dec 2009 19:27:34 GMT Subject: [PATCH] help: Do not unnecessarily look for a repository Message-ID: <1259695654-3182-1-git-send-email-davvid@gmail.com> Although 'git help' actually doesn't need to be run inside a git repository and uses no repository-specific information, it looks for a git directory. Searching for a git directory can be annoying in auto-mount environments. With this commit, 'git help' no longer searches for a repository when run without any options. 7c3baa9 originally modified 'git help -a' to not require a repository. This applies the same fix for 'git help'.
