Version: 1:1.7.10.4-1+wheezy1
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I tried to make "git show $commit" show the log but not the diff.

Running "git show -h" yields
    --quiet               suppress diff output
(and doesn't mention -s at all)

Running "git show --help" (or "man git") doesn't mention --quiet and only 
mentions -s in
 EXAMPLES
        git show -s --format=%s v1.0.0^{commit}
                Shows the subject of the commit pointed to by the tag v1.0.0.
which doesn't even feel relevant.

Now, according to 
http://git.661346.n2.nabble.com/git-show-and-the-quiet-option-td6414698.html
--quiet never really worked and the proper way to not show diff is -s.

I feel both the "git show -h" and the manpage should reflect that.


AFAICT this applies to 1.8.2 (currently in experimental) as well.

Thanks,
Best regards,
Martin Hradil
