Re: [PATCH v2 2/3] git help: group common commands by theme

extract the $grp shell variable from command-list.txt (eg: 'common-3_worktree') and add this value to the output:

before/after: {"add", N_("Add file contents to the index")} {"add", N_("Add file contents to the index"), "3_worktree"}

When 'git help' is called, the displayed commands can be grouped by theme instead of a less useful alphabetical order.
