Hmph, OK. The earlier one made it appear that when -a is given to
"git help" it would also accept command or guide, which is no longer
true.

This is not new, but don't we need to fix the mark-up of [-a|--all]
and [-g|--guides] and [-c|--config]? It's not like "We can give 0
or more of i/-m/-w". These are "we have to give either -a or --all
to trigger this mode".
