Make "git help" sort git commands in columns
This changes "pretty_print_string_list()" to show the git commands alphabetically in column order, which is the normal one. Ie instead of doing git commands available in '/home/torvalds/bin' ---------------------------------------------- add am ... applypatch archimport ... cat-file check-ref-format ... ... it does git commands available in '/home/torvalds/bin' ---------------------------------------------- add diff-tree ... am fetch ... apply fetch-pack ... ... where each column is sorted. This is how "ls" sorts things too, and since visually the columns are much more distinct than the rows, so it _looks_ more sorted. The "ls" command has a "-x" option that lists entries by lines (the way git.c used to): if somebody wants to do that, the new print-out logic could be easily accomodated to that too. Matter of taste and preference, I guess. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>
