Description Ladislav Jozsa 2014-10-23 13:10:45 UTC 
The following command outputs:

# rpm-ostree compose tree --help
usage: rpm-ostree 2014.108 compose compose COMMAND [options]
Builtin commands:
  tree
  sign

The usage line looks weird and does not help much.
Comment 1 Matthew Barnes 2015-05-07 14:02:45 UTC 
Here's what it looks like now.  A little more helpful, I think.

I'm going to go ahead and close this since the bug is pretty old now.
