Agreed. I don't believe in command line API here. I think we'd need a
better solution.

My gut says: Live with the warts on old commands and try to make
people use command words for new commands.

Agreed. However Graeme's original question also said "I can supply a more extensive list if needed", and "I still have to reference the help to remind me of what parameter to use in certain situation", which suggests that one option is to capture that list within some part of the documentation, especially if Graeme already has an easy to read layout.

If it could be part of the documenation, where should it go - gitcli or perhaps it's own guide (`git help -g` and friends)?
