I think there's no way we should be catering for people who type =20 command like "git push" just to see what the synopsis does. The verb "push" very clearly has connotations of a state-changing, =20 possibly irreversible action (unlike other verbs like "log" or "show"). People who type "git push" just to see a synopsis need to learn a =20 lesson; the lesson being that if you want to find out what a command =20 does the safest thing is to type "git help push" instead.
