Hi,
This is a very minor nitpick, but since it bothers me I thought I'd patch it
anyway. If it doesn't bother anyone else, then please ignore this patch.
I am a fast but rather inaccurate typer, so now and then I mistype a Git
command. The first time this happens I have to wait up to 15 seconds before
Git returns with an error. It takes my brain only 0.15 seconds to see the
typo, but I still have the wait the remaining 14.45 seconds before I can
retry.
I have patched help_unknown_command(), so you can disable auto correction
with help.autocorrect == -2.
Beware that this is not 100% backward compatible, because before this patch
_any_ negative value (including -2) would set the auto correction delay to
zero.

Subject: [PATCH] help_unknown_command: disable auto correction
Auto correction can be rather slow (because it searches the path), so
disable it with "git config help.autocorrect -2".
