That didn't change the situation.
I did read a bit farther in the manual and initialized a new repository.
Issuing "git --help" once inside that new repository works. Requiring
the --help command to be called from inside a repository, or even that
it's looking for a repository at all, seems unwise. All it should do is
display the usage information and exit.
Thanks,
