A side note: The following three commands seem to do exactly the same:

  $ git --help log
  $ git log --help
  $ git help log

Which in itself is good, I think, since in all the cases user expects to
get the manual for "log". It seems that "git help <command>" is the most
often advertised in manuals and tutorials but it does not show in the
list printed by "git / git --help / git help":

  $ git
  usage: [...]

  The most commonly used git commands are:
  [There's no "help" command in the list.]

I think it belongs there, so how about the following patch? There are
two logically separate changes but I didn't feel that they deserve
separate commits.

---snip---
Add subcommand "help" to the list of most commonly used subcommands

Commands "git", "git --help" and "git help" did not list the subcommand
"help" as one of the most commonly used git commands. Yet "git help" is
advertised as the help command of git so this patch adds "help" the
list.

In addition to that change the short description in git-help.txt manual
to start with a capital letter.
