From 1b1dd23f2d6a707b7077cdf6bc6d4055bd0bfb7d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Stephan Beyer <s-beyer@gmx.net>
Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2008 15:36:15 +0200
Subject: [PATCH] Make usage strings dash-less

When you misuse a git command, you are shown the usage string.
But this is currently shown in the dashed form.  So if you just
copy what you see, it will not work, when the dashed form
is no longer supported.

This patch makes git commands show the dash-less version.

For shell scripts that do not specify OPTIONS_SPEC, git-sh-setup.sh
generates a dash-less usage string now.
