[PATCH] help: change a message to be more precise

Kaartic Sivaraam· Sep 12, 2017, 11:14 UTC · lore

When the user tries to use '--help' option on an aliased command information about the alias is printed as sshown below,

    $ git co --help
    `git co' is aliased to `checkout'

This doesn't seem correct as the user has aliased only 'co' and not 'git co'. This might even be incorrect in cases in which the user has used an alias like 'tgit'.

    $ tgit co --help
    `git co' is aliased to `checkout'

So, make the message more precise.
