A late re-roll of [1] which addresses all the comments Eric Sunshine raised, thanks for the review, and sorry the v2 took so long!

The SYNOPSIS issues etc. Eric noted have also been fixed. 1. https://lore.kernel.org/git/cover-0.7-00000000000-20211228T153456Z-avarab@xxxxxxxxx/ Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason (9): help doc: add missing "]" to "[-a|--all]" help.c: use puts() instead of printf{,_ln}() for consistency help tests: test "git" and "git help [-a|-g] spacing help.c: split up list_all_cmds_help() function help: note the option name on option incompatibility help: correct usage & behavior of "git help --all" help: error if [-a|-g|-c] and [-i|-m|-w] are combined help: add --no-[external-commands|aliases] for use with --all help: don't print "\n" before single-section output Documentation/git-help.txt | 15 ++++-- builtin/help.c | 63 +++++++++++++++++++++---- help.c | 37 +++++++++++---- help.h | 2 +- t/t0012-help.sh | 94 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 5 files changed, 187 insertions(+), 24 deletions(-) Range-diff against v1: 1: 652dae26bf4 = 1: c4b66c36c17 help doc: add missing "]" to "[-a|--all]" 2: f84662469a3 = 2: 124643c4b35 help.c: use puts() instead of printf{,_ln}() for consistency 3: 3956937cf3b ! 3: 3e39116f197 help tests: test "git" and "git help [-a|-g] spacing @@ t/t0012-help.sh: test_expect_success 'git help --config-sections-for-completion' +' + test_expect_success 'generate builtin list' ' + mkdir -p sub && git --list-cmds=builtins >builtins - ' 4: f040dd549b4 = 4: f9c4d5e2d28 help.c: split up list_all_cmds_help() function 5: 12ff152bd57 < -: ----------- help: error if [-a|-g|-c] and [-i|-m|-w] are combined -: ----------- > 5: e5c49089106 help: note the option name on option incompatibility -: ----------- > 6: 868e8a6cf83 help: correct usage & behavior of "git help --all" -: ----------- > 7: 992ee6580ac help: error if [-a|-g|-c] and [-i|-m|-w] are combined 6: a5ef9f69530 ! 8: c81c0cbbcdb help: add --no-[external-commands|aliases] for use with --all @@ Documentation/git-help.txt: git-help - Display help information about Git -------- [verse] -'git help' [-a|--all] [--[no-]verbose] -+'git help' [-a|--all] [--[no-]verbose] [--[no-](external-commands|aliases)] ++'git help' [-a|--all] [--[no-]verbose] [--[no-]external-commands] [--[no-]aliases] 'git help' [[-i|--info] [-m|--man] [-w|--web]] [<command>|<guide>] 'git help' [-g|--guides] 'git help' [-c|--config] @@ Documentation/git-help.txt: OPTIONS - Prints all the available commands on the standard output.
