From 6612b9e471a3e25079dac5257ead8cf6abe68575 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Erik Faye-Lund Date: Fri, 26 Nov 2010 17:00:39 +0100 Subject: help: always suggest common-cmds if prefix of cmd If someone runs "git st", the command "git status" is not suggested because it's not one of the closest levenshtein-neighbour. Reserve the distance of 0 for common commands where the entered command is a prefixe, as these are often more likely to be what the user meant. This way, "git status" is the first suggestion, while a list of possible typos are still suggested as well.
