Re: [PATCH] help: show manpage for aliased command on git <alias> --help

I am not interested enough to even strongly object to such a change, because it is not reasonable to react with a "I know!" to the output of "git co --help", i.e. "'git co' is aliased to 'checkout'", in the first place. Also some users may find it inconsistent if a single bareword jumps directly to the manpage and other input shows alias expansion.

So,... I do not see a very big plus in the proposed (and then amended by others in the thread) change, but if the damage to the code that is necessary to implement it is not too bad, perhaps it is an OK thing to do. I don't know without seeing the patch.
