Subject: [bug] 2.39.0: error in help for ls-remote

Message-ID: <CAOh4nmm9fTm8fa=1Hyi8t3R-VMnf30-0xe0vcst57dvY-FrL+w@mail.gmail.com> (raw)

All,
The short help for ls-remote advertises that '-h' is short for '--heads':
> usage: git ls-remote [--heads] [--tags] [--refs] [--upload-pack=<exec>]
> [-q | --quiet] [--exit-code] [--get-url] [--sort=<key>]
> [--symref] [<repository> [<refs>...]]
>
>
> -q, --quiet do not print remote URL
> --upload-pack <exec> path of git-upload-pack on the remote host
> -t, --tags limit to tags
> -h, --heads limit to heads
> --refs do not show peeled tags
> --get-url take url.<base>.insteadOf into account
> --sort <key> field name to sort on
> --exit-code exit with exit code 2 if no matching refs are found
> --symref show underlying ref in addition to the object pointed by it
> -o, --server-option <server-specific>
> option to transmit
However, 'git ls-remote -h' instead prints the help. So perhaps the
help message should be revised.
git version 2.39.0
Thanks,
Jeremy
