A side note: The following three commands seem to do exactly the same:
$ git --help log $ git log --help $ git help log
Which in itself is good, I think, since in all the cases user expects to get the manual for "log". It seems that "git help <command>" is the most often advertised in manuals and tutorials but it does not show in the list printed by "git / git --help / git help":
$ git usage: [...]
The most commonly used git commands are: [There's no "help" command in the list.]
I think it belongs there, so how about the following patch? There are two logically separate changes but I didn't feel that they deserve separate commits.
---snip--- Add subcommand "help" to the list of most commonly used subcommands
Commands "git", "git --help" and "git help" did not list the subcommand "help" as one of the most commonly used git commands. Yet "git help" is advertised as the help command of git so this patch adds "help" the list.
In addition to that change the short description in git-help.txt manual to start with a capital letter.
