1617687 - A help command would be useful

Status: RESOLVED FIXED

(Conduit :: moz-phab, defect, P3)

Description

[Dave Townsend [:mossop]]

It would be useful if there were a help command, right now it outputs a bunch of odd errors:

> moz-phab help
abort: unknown revision 'help'!
CommandError: command 'hg' failed to complete successfully
Run moz-phab again with '--trace' to show the stack trace
Sentry is attempting to send 0 pending error messages
Waiting up to 2 seconds
Press Ctrl-C to quit

The odd errors occur because moz-phab help is the same as moz-phab submit help, resulting in help being interpreted as a Mercurial revset.

Adding a help command as an alias for --help is trivial, and I can see how it would help.
