[PATCH 0/2] Fix git help -a with long alias names

The code added in 26c7d0678324 (help -a: improve and make --verbose default, 2018-09-29) that intends to print out aliases in addition to commands failed to adjust for the length of the aliases. As a consequence, if there was any alias whose name is longer than 18 characters, git help -a tried to print an insanely large number of spaces, one at a time, causing what appeared to be a "hang".

Let's fix this, and while at it fix a style issue that I saw on the way as well.
