When we got #3193, we decided in #3196 that
--help
will give a summaryfor other commands (
subcmd --help
in this case) but not show the longversion of the output for that other command.
Now with #3215, I think the case is similar for
--help
not showing thelong version but instead preferring the short version and encouraging
people to run
--version
.Originally. clap only showed the short version or nothing. This was
changed in #2369 without fanfare to prefer the long version over short.
Now are we preferring short version over the long version always, just
like all other help.
