Couple of questions regarding documentation direction:
- Is the plan to update all docs to use $GIT_DIR instead of .git?
- Do we intend on adding explicit support for '--help' on most, if not all, of the git commands? In some cases (git-branch) a -*) case tacitly catches --help and usage()'s it. In other cases (git-pull) this can't be done as -*) passes options on to git-fetch. I think that we should catch --help directly so that it doesn't emit git-fetch's *) catch-all usage:
% git pull --help
usage: git-fetch-pack [-q] [-v] [--exec=upload-pack] [host:]directory <refs>...
Fetch failure: --help- Do you want to head in the per-man-page-"Now What?" direction as suggested by Junio?
Thanks, jdl
