Subject: [PATCH] Add git help command.
Date: Sun, 6 Nov 2005 12:31:08 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <11312730681275-git-send-email-ya@slamail.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <436D276F.7010302@slamail.org>
git help COMMAND will call "man COMMAND" if there is a manpage.
If there is no manpage for the command, a simple help will be shown.
