along the lines of the different aspects of git being consistent, shouldnt the shell scripts all be changed to call `man` ?

these call `man`: git diff --help git log --help git stash --help git rebase --help git-diff --help git-log --help

these show a short usage: git-stash --help git-rebase --help

looking at the code, it comes down to the git-sh-setup.sh file mostly ... -mike
