Depending on the audience, one might want to mention that if you are using a modern version of zsh as your shell and have activated its run-help function (see http://zsh.dotsrc.org/Doc/Release/zsh_24.html#SEC218), you can just say git foo -bar and you'll get git-foo manual page. When you exit man, you'll get your command line back just like it was when you hit M-h. I think it handles even "echo dum ; git foo " kind of cases. You can't live without it once you have tried it. Or the completion with descriptions for options etc. -- Hannu
