As per subject, invoking "tg --help" from a directory which does not
contain a git repo returs a laconic:

  zack@usha:/tmp$ tg --help
  fatal: Not a git repository

Cheers.

I think you wanted to CC Petr, not Junio. It's also useful to CC
Debian bugs if you know of them. :)

Thanks, noted. I am still working on this patch, since
evaluating $argv/checking for --help at this early stage basically
requires a rewrite of the CLI parsing, ideally using POSIX getopt or
something similar, which takes much of the load away.

Anyway, Patch for your proposal forthcoming.

I CC'ed Junio, because I think this git rev-parse --git-dir is a bug.
For example you can try starting git gui inside a .git dir.
A patch would depent on your --help patch, Because help should work everywhere.
So either I wait for you or do do it.

Oh, I send a patch only to petr, but forgot to cc the list ;-)

But your patch should be fine, thanks.

You might want to let him know of your intention. :)
worse, for now you cannot call --help inside .git anymore either.
This will force us to fix the --help situation quicker.

I've run out of time, for a while at least. If you want to pick up
the pieces and convert argument parsing to POSIX getopt, or maybe
even better, git-rev-parse --parseopt, then please go for it. You
can find my current TopGit branch at

http://git.debian.org/?p=collab-maint/topgit.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/fixes/independent-help
  git://git.debian.org/git/collab-maint/topgit.git, branch fixes/independent-help

If you use Debian: debcheckout topgit (requires devscripts 2.10.40)
