For this particular case, I do not think it is worth _my_ time to keep maintaining that patch. It is understandable that a new person will be hurt if $ git ls-remote -h does not give a short-help message and instead try to contact and show the origin repository which may not even exist, and that is why I sent a fix. But would anybody gets hurt if $ git ls-remote -h origin $ git ls-remote -h git://git.kernel.org/pub/git/git.git kept working as they do today, given that we do not advertise -h as a synonym in "git ls-remote -h" output? That is why I said "I am not opposed to", and not "I'd volunteer to do that". It's not worth my time, but since you brought it up, you may care more about it.
