git http-push already knows how to dump usage if it is given no
options, but it interprets '-h' as the URL to a remote repository:
$ git http-push -h
error: Cannot access URL -h/, return code 6
Dump usage on -h, instead. Humans wanting to pass the URL -h/ to
curl for some reason can use 'git http-push -h/' explicitly.
Scripts expecting to access an HTTP repository at URL '-h' will
break, though.

Like this one. Full list of non-builtin commands in C like this:
http-push, fast-import, imap-send, remote-curl, show-index.
