Although 'git help' actually doesn't need to be run inside a git repository and uses no repository-specific information, it looks for a git directory. Searching for a git directory can be annoying in auto-mount environments. With this commit, 'git help' no longer searches for a repository when run without any options. 7c3baa9 originally modified 'git help -a' to not require a repository. This applies the same fix for 'git help'.
