Sorry for failing to point it out and let the style carried over to
v4, but the above is insufficient for a cover latter. Those who
missed an earlier round has no clue what these patches are about,
and there is not even a pointer to find an earlier discussion in the
list archive.
I think the patches are good with the rounds of reviews it went
through, so let's merge it to 'next'. Here is what I plan to start
the merge message of the series:
"git cmd --help" when "cmd" is aliased used to only say "cmd is
aliased to ...". Now it shows that to the standard error stream
and runs "git $cmd --help" where $cmd is the first word of the
alias expansion.
Please do the cover-letter better next time.
Thanks.
