That didn't change the situation.

I did read a bit farther in the manual and initialized a new repository. Issuing "git --help" once inside that new repository works. Requiring the --help command to be called from inside a repository, or even that it's looking for a repository at all, seems unwise. All it should do is display the usage information and exit.

Thanks,
