I agree with this, but not because I don't use it rarely, but because
there is no such command 'git-help'. I know that we are urging the
user away from the dash notation, but if we want to advertise 'git
help' as an actual command, at least make 'git' recognize it as an
actual command instead of displaying the default usage notice (type
'git help' and see what I mean).
