[PATCH 4/8] revert: change help_msg() to take no argument

From
Christian Couder <chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
Date
May 31, 2010, 19:42 UTC
Message-ID
<20100531194240.28729.49459.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
In-Reply-To
<20100531193359.28729.55562.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>

This is needed because the following commits will make it possible to cherry-pick many commits instead of just one.

So it will be possible to pass for example ranges of commits to "git cherry-pick" and this means that it will not be possible to use the arguments passed to "git cherry-pick" in the help message.

The help message will have to use the sha1 of the currently processed commit.
