Subject: [PATCH,RFC 2/2] Remove hint to use "git help -a"
Date: Sun, 11 Nov 2007 19:57:57 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1194829077-14320-2-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1194829077-14320-1-git-send-email-tytso@mit.edu>

The newbie user will run away screaming when they see all possible
commands.  The expert user will already know about the -a option from
reading the git man page.
