Re: [PATCH resend] help: convert git_cmd to page in one place

> Depending on the chosen format of help pages, git-help uses function
> show_man_page, show_info_page, or show_html_page.  The first thing all
> three functions do is to convert given `git_cmd` to a `page` using
> function cmd_to_page.
>
> Move the common part of these three functions to function cmd_help to
> avoid code duplication.
