Running help on a subcommand should show the actual subcommand help

[wagenet]

Currently it shows a default (uninformative) help page instead of showing a list of all the commands in the subcommand.

Agreed! Using this test case placed in the top-level of the thor source tree:

$ ruby -Ilib test.rb help
Tasks:
  test.rb help [TASK]  # Describe available tasks or one specific task
  test.rb sub          # This is a subcommand

which leads the user to expect more useful help via the arguments help sub. But instead:

$ ruby -Ilib test.rb help sub
Usage:
  test.rb sub

This is a subcommand

whereas:

$ ruby -Ilib test.rb sub help
Tasks:
  test.rb sub first           # This is the first task in the subcommand
  test.rb sub help [COMMAND]  # Describe subcommands or one specific subcommand
  test.rb sub second          # This is the second task in the subcommand

which is much more useful.

Would be interested in the status of this. It looks like its been reported and fixed and broken at least once from looking at the issues history. (Issue #128 and looks like things got lost maybe in issue #147 )

Or am I missing something with subcommands? I'm seeing this exact same problem with version 0.18.1.

Thanks
