Description

I wanted to read what collect_static command does and typed: ./manage.py help collect_static. Instead of seeing the help text, I got ImproperlyConfigured exception about attempt to use collect_static with missing STATIC_ROOT setting. I don't think trying to read help text should raise an exception. I've tried with 1.8.6 and 1.9rc1 versions.

Yes, it's easy if we make self.local a (cached?) property.
