Please upgrade to a current version before filing bug reports. + +git-annex outputs to stderr when it's run with invalid +parameters. So `git annex` will output to stderr (`2>&1 | less` to page +it). `git annex add --help` outputs to stdout since the user requested +usage help and didn't do anything wrong. `git annex help add` displays the +man page, which uses a pager. That is all consistent with git's +behavior, and is fairly typical for unix programs. +"""]] |
