One disadvantage is that you have to compose two forms of documentation. I suspect this is why git [command] --help just opens the manpage. (It helps that man itself just sends output to stdout when not outputting to a tty... though it's very annoying that on Windows it opens it in a web browser instead.) -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
