[PATCH 1/2 v2] Documentation: user-manual: add information about "git help" at the beginning

From: Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
Date: Nov 17, 2008, 15:42 UTC
Message-ID: <20081117164247.52181daf.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.

 Comprehensive reference documentation is available through the man
-pages.  For a command such as "git clone <repo>", just use
+pages, or linkgit:git-help[1] command.  For example, for the command
+"git clone <repo>", you can either use:
 
 ------------------------------------------------
 $ man git-clone
 ------------------------------------------------
 
+or:
+
+------------------------------------------------
+$ git help clone
+------------------------------------------------
+
+With the latter, you can use the manual viewer of your choice; see
+linkgit:git-help[1] for more information.

 See also <<git-quick-start>> for a brief overview of git commands,
 without any explanation.
