Hi,

I tried to put a break point at help.c:396 and it was successful . I th=
ink
that the problem is either your symbols are not loaded.
Nevertheless I will walk you through the steps.

$ git clone https://github.com/git/git
$ make
$ gdb ./git
$(gdb)> gdb break help.c:396
Breakpoint 1 at 0x80f8b40: file help.c, line 396.

Cheers,
Tanay Abhra.
