This series fixes various bugs & edge cases in the "git help" command, and improves and splits the internal-only "--completion-for-config" option into two, and as a result can get rid of an awk/sort -u pipeline in the bash completion.
For v1, see : https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-0.6-00000000000-20210908T151949Z-avarab@gmail.com/
This should address all the feedback on v1 and more. I dropped the 4/6 refactoring change, we now also specifically say what option combinations are bad before emitting usage info, as requested by Eric Sunshine.
