git lp-propose does not have help but git-lp-propose has

[Patrick Wu]

Right now when I use `git-lp-propose --help`, it will print help properly; but when I use the git alias `git lp-propose --help`, it shows error "No manual entry for git-lp-propose" (following output is in Esperanto):

"""

positional arguments:
  merge_target Target branch for the merge proposal. It can be

This is a limitation of snaps that they can't ship man pages - https://forum.snapcraft.io/t/support-for-man-pages/2299

git will look, by default for a man page for the command, and even if we were to ship one in the snap, it wouldn't be available in the default paths that man looks in.
