Master Git and a novice were walking along a bridge.
The novice, wanting to partake of Master Git's vast knowledge, said: "git branch --help".
Master Git sat down and lectured her on the seven forms of git branch, and their many options.
They resumed walking. A few minutes later they encountered an experienced developer traveling in the opposite direction. He bowed to Master Git and said "git branch -h". Master Git tersely informed him of the most common git branch options. The developer thanked him and continued on his way.
"Master," said the novice, "what is the nature of long and short options for commands? I thought they were equivalent, but when that developer used -h you said something different than when I said --help."
"Perspective is everything," answered the Master.
The novice was puzzled. She decided to experiment and said "git -h branch".
Master Git turned and threw himself off the railing, falling to his death on the rocks below.
Upon seeing this, the novice was enlightened.
