The --follow-alias option will look up the alias definitions and
use the first word as a command. For example, if I set my aliases
as follows:

  $ git help br
  `git br' is aliased to `git branch'
  $ git help ru
  `git ru' is aliased to `git remote update'

adding --follow-alias (or -f) option will show man pages of
git-branch and git-remote, respectively.

What would happen when somebody has this?

	[alias]
         	br = branch --list

	$ git help --follow-alias br
	... man page for git-branch is shown ...

NAK.


I'm sorry I don't understand what you meant by this. What should be happened for this?


+-f::
+--follow-alias::
+	Read alias definitions and use its first word as a command name
+	(if any).

Also, please do not let a potentially ill-conceived option to squat on a
short and sweet single letter option name, until it proves to be useful.


OK, will be careful next time.

Thanks,
Namhyung
