this isn't something git-absorb can control. if you run git-absorb --help
with the hyphen, you'll see it actually prints its help. but when you run git absorb --help
without the hyphen, the binary you're running is git
- and git always looks for the manpage when you use the long flag --help
. there's no way for git-absorb to override that message because it's not even being run

This is unhelpful; it does tell you the man page is missing, but not how to install it. You also have to make a mental leap from "no man page" to "
--help
opens the man page" which is not immediately obvious.I think this would be a better error message:
