To whom may concern,
Since git 2.20.0, invoking `git help -a` will cause git using page (e.g. less)
to display help message. However, such behaviour is not desirable when
`git help -a` is run inside a pipe or invoked by another program.
Step to reproduce the bug:
git help -a | cat # this freezes the command line prompt.
This bug also causes issues in `hub` when invoking `git <alias>`.
More detail can be found at https://github.com/github/hub/issues/1963
I would suggest `git help -a` only invokes page when stdout is a tty.
Thanks for your attention.
Best Regards,
Cheng
