Heh, I found another ;-)
95e98cd9 ("revision.c: use refs_for_each*() instead of
for_each_*_submodule()", 2017-04-19), which is in the middle of
Duy's nd/prune-in-worktree series, does this:

when jk/consistent-h is merged into it and then "git diff-files -h"
is run.
I guess anything that calls setup_revisions() from the "git cmd -h"
bypass need to be prepared with that
check_help_option(argc, argv, usage, options);
thing. Which is a bit sad, but I tend to agree with you that
restructuring to make usage[] of everybody available to git.c
is probably too noisy for the benefit it would give us.
