Subject: [PATCH v4 3/6] usage: add show_usage_if_asked()
Date: Thu, 16 Jan 2025 13:35:50 -0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250116213553.2563751-4-gitster@pobox.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250116213553.2563751-1-gitster@pobox.com>

Some commands call usage() when they are asked to give the help
message with "git cmd -h", but this has the same problem as we
fixed with callers of usage_with_options() for the same purpose.

Introduce a helper function that captures the common pattern

	if (argc == 2 && !strcmp(argv[1], "-h"))
		usage(usage);

and replaces it with

	show_usage_if_asked(argc, argv, usage);

to help correct these code paths.

Note that this helper function still exits with status 129, and
t0012 insists on it.  After converting all the mistaken callers of
usage_with_options() to call this new helper, we may want to address
it---the end user is asking us to give the help text, and we are
doing exactly as asked, so there is no reason to exit with non-zero
status.

 * Helper function renamed.
