dispatch: don't show list of commands on bogus command If a command is ambiguous, you get this: $ hg ve hg: command 've' is ambiguous: verify version [255] If you typo a command, you get this: $ hg comit hg: unknown command 'comit' (did you mean one of commit, incoming, mycommit?) [255] But if you completely mistype a command so it no longer looks like any existing commands, you get a full list of commands. That might be useful the first time you use Mercurial, but after that it's probably more annoying than help, especially if you have the pager enabled and have a short terminal. Let's instead give a short hint telling the user to run `hg help` for more help. Differential Revision: https://phab.mercurial-scm.org/D4024

Our full contribution guidelines are in our wiki, please see:

If you just want a checklist to follow, you can go straight to

https://www.mercurial-scm.org/wiki/ContributingChanges#Submission_checklist

If you can't run the entire testsuite for some reason (it can be
difficult on Windows), please at least run `contrib/check-code.py` on
any files you've modified and run `python contrib/check-commit` on any
commits you've made (for example, `python contrib/check-commit
273ce12ad8f1` will report some style violations on a very old commit).
