Why is "git --version" called so, and not "git version"?  It works
just like any other command, except that it is implemented internally
in the git script.

The "git" command takes a subcommand that does some action or simply
prints some informational output.  The "version" subcommand fits
nicely into that, and I don't see any need to prepend "--" to it.
