help: do not show full help text for command on option errors
Example
$ hg clone --jump foo bar
hg clone: option --jump not recognized
hg clone [OPTION]... SOURCE [DEST]
make a copy of an existing repository
options:
-U --noupdate the clone will include an empty working copy (only a
repository)
-u --updaterev REV revision, tag or branch to check out
-r --rev REV [+] include the specified changeset
-b --branch BRANCH [+] clone only the specified branch
--pull use pull protocol to copy metadata
--uncompressed use uncompressed transfer (fast over LAN)
-e --ssh CMD specify ssh command to use
--remotecmd CMD specify hg command to run on the remote side
--insecure do not verify server certificate (ignoring
web.cacerts config)
[+] marked option can be specified multiple times
use "hg help clone" to show the full help text
Motivation for this change
If the user already has specified the command, he probably already knows
the command to some extent. Apparently, he has a problem with the options,
so we show him just the synopsis with the short help and the details about
the options, with a hint on the last line how to get the full help text.
Why is Mercurial better with this change?
Experts who just forgot about the details of an option don't get that
much text thrown at them, while the newbies still get a hint on the last
line how to get the full help text.
Issue835: qpush fails immediately when patching a missing file, but
remaining added files are still created empty which will trick a
future qrefresh.
