"git show --usage" no "usage" displayed

Nicholas Hsiang· Dec 21, 2018, 02:27 UTC · lore

Dear git:

When I type `git remote --usage`, The command panel will prompt 'error: unknown option `usage', Then there will be `git remote` related instructions. But I type `git show --usage`, just display 'fatal: unrecognized argument: --usage'.

This is a known issue because "git log" and friends do not use the same option parser as the rest. I have something in the queue to fix this, but it will take some time to get reviewed and merged because it's a big big change.
