[PATCH 2/3] Documentation: user-manual: add information about "git help" at the beginning

From: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
Date: Nov 14, 2008, 12:27 UTC
Message-ID: <20081114132705.5bb9be21.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>

Talking about "git help" is useful because it has a few more features (like when using it without arguments or with "-a") and it may work on non unix like platforms.
