I do like being happy, and I enjoy other people being happy. I also celebrate whimsy. However, this epilogue is rendered in a way that makes it seem to be a category of subcommands (confusing) and completely empty --- which is wholly depressing.

minor but might want to avoid modifying this to avoid conflict with #7014

Thx!
note: CI was red for appveyor and travis for a reason! See e.g. https://app.travis-ci.com/github/datalad/datalad/builds/255439732 . I will submit a PR to fix. |
Redness fatigue made us merge datalad#7027 without seeing that test failed. Daily tests of datalad/git-annex started to fail which let me to detect this === Do not change lines below === { "chain": [], "cmd": "sed -i -e 's,Miscellaneous commands,Miscellaneous,g' '{outputs}'", "exit": 0, "extra_inputs": [], "inputs": [], "outputs": [ "datalad/cli/tests/test_main.py" ], "pwd": "." } ^^^ Do not change lines above ^^^

The new DataLad Gooey-GUI-Gew~wee uses the category strings for commands for the UI, which increases the visibility of this problem.
This PR intends to achieve the following:
I looked at
git --help
, and I /really/ like the way that they organize their subcommands. However, such a change for DataLad would involve a pretty significant reorganization of the subcommand categories, which I anticipate would be controversial. I aim for this change to enter first, and if there's desire for a further refinement of organization, then that could follow.Lastly, this PR removes an epilogue from the DataLad help. Accusations of me of being a curmudgeon would not be entirely out of line --- but I do find the current rendering to be confusing. If indeed we want people to be happy, we should not confuse them in the process.
If there's strong support for the retention of the terse-and-imperative-message-of-optimism, then I can amend this PR to adjust the surrounding whitespace.
