Change the usage message emitted by "git stash --invalid-option" to emit usage information for "git stash" in general, and not just for the "push" command. I.e. before:
$ git stash --blah
error: unknown option `blah'
usage: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
[--] [<pathspec>...]]
[...]After:
$ git stash --blah
error: unknown option `blah'
usage: git stash list [<options>]
or: git stash show [<options>] [<stash>]
or: git stash drop [-q|--quiet] [<stash>]
or: git stash ( pop | apply ) [--index] [-q|--quiet] [<stash>]
or: git stash branch <branchname> [<stash>]
or: git stash clear
or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
[--pathspec-from-file=<file> [--pathspec-file-nul]]
[--] [<pathspec>...]]
or: git stash save [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [<message>]
[...]We'll only emit the former on the likes of "git stash push --blah" now.
That we emitted the usage for just "push" in the case of the subcommand not being explicitly specified was an unintentional side-effect of how it was implemented. When it was converted to C in d553f538b8a (stash: convert push to builtin, 2019-02-25) the pattern of having per-subcommand usage information was rightly continued. The Git-stash.sh shellscript did not have that, and always printed the equivalent of "git_stash_usage".
But in doing so the case of push being implicit and explicit was conflated. A variable was added to track this in 8c3713cede7 (stash: eliminate crude option parsing, 2020-02-17), but it did not update the usage output accordingly.
This still leaves e.g. "git stash push -h" emitting the "git_stash_usage" output, instead of "git_stash_push_usage". That should be fixed, but is a much deeper misbehavior in parse_options() not being aware of subcommands at all. I.e. in how PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP combine in commands such as "git stash".
Perhaps PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN should imply PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP, or better yet parse_options() should be extended to fully handle these subcommand cases that we handle manually in "git stash", "git commit-graph", "git multi-pack-index" etc. All of those musings would be a much bigger change than this isolated fix though, so let's leave that for some other time.
