[JGIT PATCH 7/9] Include commonly used commands in main help output

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



If the main loop did not get a subcommand during parsing of the
command line then we should offer up a list of commonly used
commands and their one-line usage summary, to help the user make
a decision about which command they should try to execute.
