Subject: Patch: even nicer help output
Date: Sat, 01 Mar 2008 22:18:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <m3mypif82v.fsf@fleche.redhat.com> (raw)
This patch should be applied after the earlier word-wrap patch.
This one lines up all the descriptions of the options when printing
help for a command. This looks a lot nicer to me.
