Subject: [PATCH] help: change a message to be more precise
Date: Tue, 12 Sep 2017 16:44:06 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20170912111406.6749-1-kaarticsivaraam91196@gmail.com> (raw)
When the user tries to use '--help' option on an aliased command
information about the alias is printed as sshown below,
$ git co --help
`git co' is aliased to `checkout'
This doesn't seem correct as the user has aliased only 'co' and not
'git co'. This might even be incorrect in cases in which the user has
used an alias like 'tgit'.
$ tgit co --help
`git co' is aliased to `checkout'
So, make the message more precise.
