I was not sure about this for quite some time, thinking that it
might make sense to default the behaviour of init-db for bare
repositories and give init as a user-level wrapper to drive
init-db to add customization suitable for repositories with
working trees.  List?

I was also hoping that would become the case except verify-tag,
cherry-pick, and format-patch.  Also I was wondering if it would
make sense to give two dashes to the back-end ones that never
get invoked by the end users directly (e.g. merge--recursive,
upload--pack) but thought it was too ugly.
