But you know git inside out, don't you? It seems common to have such
help command: svn help, bzr help, hg help. They all list "help" as one
of the subcommands. I don't know anything about "being really a git
command" but from user interface's point of view "git help" is a git
command. It's even advertised in output of other git commands (well, at
least "git gc --auto").

Anyway, I'd change the short description of "git help" to be more
informative so I'd separate the changes. Version 2 follows.
