Changes from v2: - Rebase on unpublished ua/t1517… v5 (https://lore.kernel.org/git/20250803020744.1037392-1-usmanakinyemi202@xxxxxxxxx/) which is rebased on master - Changed fixup to account for instaweb Perl dependency Changes from v1: - tweak refactor commit message to indicate no behavior is changed; - use #define'd constants instead of an enum for internal flags; - drop controversial [4/4] QQ: Is there a better way to add --cc's to format-patch than grabbing the right folks off threads from lore.kernel.org/git? (I could also grab them out of my mail client.) I assume this is where using tools like b4 starts to really shine? To be clear: I mean CC's _in addition to_ the use of sendemail.ccCmd = perl contrib/contacts/git-contacts to keep folks that participated in prior rounds of discussion abreast of the next version. -------- Original -------- This series depends on ua/t1517-short-help-tests with some fixes, which show up in the first patch. Start a new topic from the (unpublished) v5 of that branch: git switch -c topic origin/master git am ua/t1517-short-help-tests-v5.mbox Then apply this series. This series enables --help-all outside of repository contexts, and allows -h with other arguments (without breaking existing ls-remote/grep usage). It consists of preparatory steps (fixes for a dependency branch; refactoring to make an internal helper's arguments clearer) followed by the main commits. v1: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20250726165320.4039-1-ben.knoble+github@xxxxxxxxx/ v2: https://lore.kernel.org/git/20250803012613.54086-1-ben.knoble+github@xxxxxxxxx/ Published-as: https://github.com/benknoble/git/tree/help-all-tweaks D.
