I think it is a good idea to change the presentation order from
alphabetical to logical grouping.  However, the approach the patch takes
encourages the command synopsis and its help message drift apart which is
somewhat worrysome.

I also sense a hidden agenda of deprecating the word 'index' and replacing
it with 'stage', but this is not a proper way to do so.  Please make it a
separate patch.  IOW, keep the current command description but change the
selection of commands and presentation order in one patch, and create
another patch that does your s/index/stage/ thing.

Thanks.
