.SH NAME
repo \- repository management tool built on top of git
repo: refactor help output handling Currently we have the behavior: * `repo`: Equivalent to `repo help` -- only shows common subcommands (with short description), and then exits 0. * `repo --help`: Shows repo's core options, lists all commands (no specific info), and then exits 0. The first case is not behaving well: * If you run `repo` without a specific subcommand, that's an error, so we should be exiting 1 instead. * Showing only subcommands and no actual option summary makes it seem like repo itself doesn't take any options. This confuses users. Let's rework things a bit. Now we have the behavior: * `repo`: Shows repo's core options, lists all commands (no specific info), and then exits 1. * `repo --help`: Shows repo's core options, shows common subcommands (with short description), and then exits 0. * `repo --help-all`: Shows repo's core options, shows all subcommands (with short description), and then exits 0. Basically we swap the behavior of `repo` and `repo --help`, and fix the exit status when the subcommand is missing. The addition of --help-all is mostly for the man pages. We were relying on `repo help --all` to generate the repo(1) man page, but that too omitted the core repo options. Now the man page includes all the core repo options and provides a summary of all commands.
