Previously I'd have expected either `git --help` or `git git --help` to work
(can't remember which). The former only produces the short form -h help in
the bash window, the latter says 'git' isn't a command.
Try "git help git".
Ahh, that's the one. I'd totally forgot about that method.
It might be worth mentioning it in the paragraph at the end of "git
help".
True. I'll stick on my todo list, along with adding to the general usage
message. Possibly "Or `git help git`."
On GfW I commonly use the `git <cmd> --help` when things go wrong, so
making the response to that give the right advice would be good. (It's
almost the same isue as `git --version`).
