Hi all.
This is what I get:

~/src/git$ ./git version git version 1.5.5.1.67.gbdb8

~/src/git$ ./git status -h usage: git-status [options] [--] <filepattern>...

    -q, --quiet           be quiet
    -v, --verbose         be verbose
Commit message options
   [....]
Commit contents options
   [....]
(The [....] is deleted by me for this post!).

Getting help for commit on 'git status -h' can't be right, can it ? Or am I missing something?

Thanks, Stefan
