That's obvious and straight-forward. Behave as closely as the case when "-h" is given, and let the lower-layer deal with the differences between "-h" and "--help-all". > diff --git a/parse-options.c b/parse-options.c > index c3222cc9bb..e3ed42f709 100644 > --- a/parse-options.c > +++ b/parse-options.c > @@ -1464,9 +1464,14 @@ void show_usage_with_options_if_asked(int ac, const char **av, > const char * const *usagestr, > const struct option *opts) > { > - if (ac == 2 && !strcmp(av[1], "-h")) { > - usage_with_options_internal(NULL, usagestr, opts, style_normal, to_out); > - exit(129); > + if (ac == 2) { > + if (!strcmp(av[1], "-h")) { > + usage_with_options_internal(NULL, usagestr, opts, style_normal, to_out); > + exit(129); > + } else if (!strcmp(av[1], "--help-all")) { > + usage_with_options_internal(NULL, usagestr, opts, style_full, to_out); > + exit(129); > + } > } > } Again, that is obvious and straight-forward. > diff --git a/t/t1517-outside-repo.sh b/t/t1517-outside-repo.sh > index e235ecccde..b26a03d8a0 100755 > --- a/t/t1517-outside-repo.sh > +++ b/t/t1517-outside-repo.sh > @@ -127,6 +127,10 @@ > test_expect_code 129 nongit git $cmd -h >usage && > test_grep "[Uu]sage: git $cmd " usage > ' > + test_$expect_outcome "'git $cmd --help-all' outside a repository" ' > + test_expect_code 129 nongit git $cmd --help-all >usage && > + test_grep "[Uu]sage: git $cmd " usage > + ' > done > > test_expect_success 'prune does not crash with -h' ' > diff --git a/usage.c b/usage.c > index 81913236a4..4c245ba0cb 100644 > --- a/usage.c > +++ b/usage.c > @@ -192,7 +192,8 @@ static void show_usage_if_asked_helper(const char *err, ...) > > void show_usage_if_asked(int ac, const char **av, const char *err) > { > - if (ac == 2 && !strcmp(av[1], "-h")) > + if (ac == 2 && (!strcmp(av[1], "-h") || > + !strcmp(av[1], "--help-all"))) > show_usage_if_asked_helper(err); > } This looks good. I don't understand your "I originally considered leaving out ..." at all. We are special casing a lone "-h" here already because we know this is where we should stop without exercising unnecessary code because we may not even have repo!=NULL and that is the reason why this function exists in the first place. It is obvious to me that we need the same special casing for "--help-all". In other words, I think all the above changes are good. Thanks.
