Well, is there anything I can do to help your unhappiness about that? Where is your unhappiness coming from? Is this your argument? 'git help' allows distros' oversight with its -m and -i options; it discourages distros to get their act together. I personally do not think punishing users of distros by not helping would be an effective way to encourage distros to help their users, so even though I kind of agree with that statement, I wouldn't conclude that with "therefore, git shouldn't try to be helpful with 'help [-m|-i]'". -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
