Maybe it is just me, but the fact that accessing the manpage is now: man gitremote-helpers feels weird to me. I know it technically follows our syntactic rules, but having the lack of dash be significant between "git" and "remote", but then having a dash later makes it hard on the eyes. Would it make more sense to just call it "gitremotehelpers", and then access it as: git help remotehelpers or man gitremotehelpers ? That has it its own ugliness (two words run together), but at least my version of man will accept arbitrary capitalization, allowing: git help remoteHelpers and man gitremoteHelpers I dunno. -Peff
