v2: Added patches 2 and 3, made "git cmd --help" unconditionally (no config option, no delay) redirect to the aliased command's help, preserve pre-existing behaviour of the spelling "git help cmd". v3: Add some additional comments in patch 1 and avoid triggering leak checker reports. Use better wording in patch 3.
