> We had separate usages for each subcommand, and for the main command,

> Unify the strings in the usages by putting each of them in a variable,
> and assembling the usage arrays from them.
>
> Note that this patch changes the usage strings for the following
> subcommands:
>
> - prune and show: the individual usage only said [<options>]. Kept
> the snippet from the main usage, which is more specific.
>
> - set-branches: kept the main usage, which is more concise in saying
