I can't speak for Thiago, but I assume it's for unity of style with
more complicated commands like "git fetch" that include a usage
message at the top of the file as:

 - a quick introduction for people who don't like to scroll

 - a variable that can be used from other functions when command-line
   mistakes are noticed late.

I would have gone for the one-liner, myself.
