Subject: [TopGit PATCH] Require an argument to tg -r
Message-ID: <1227182937-25056-1-git-send-email-madduck@debian.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/1227182937-25056-1-git-send-email-madduck%40debian.org

```
Right now, if -r is passed to tg, an ugly shift error occurs. This patch
checks for that case and outputs the help message if it occurs.
