There's a patch at the bottom of this, so please look at that first before
my reading my whining immediately below.
I'm having some troubles with git pull, so this is just an ordinary diff.
Otherwise, I would have used the in-house diff command.

Anyway, it's late, and I'm sure there is an easy fix to the above.
Here is a patch which provides the comment lines in the associated
script files when the git help command is invoked with an argument
thusly:
[EMAIL PROTECTED] git-pasky-new]$ ./git help merge
Merge a branch to the current tree.
Copyright (c) Petr Baudis, 2005
Takes a parameter identifying the branch to be merged.
Optional "-b base_commit" parameter specifies the base for the
merge. "-a" parameter may come first to tell git merge
to check out the full tree to the merge tree.
It creates a new ,,merge/ directory, which is git-controlled
but has only the changed files checked out. You then have to
examine it and then do git commit, which will also automatically
bring your working tree up-to-date.
---------
This patch will provide the comment lines in the shell script associated
with the command, cleaned up a bit for presentation.
BUGS: This will also print any comments in the entire file, which may
not be desired. If a command name and shell script filename
do not follow the usual convention, this won't work, e.g. ci for commit.
