Thank you for identifying the original patch! My gut reaction was that
this is just in the Part III code which adds subcommands, but that is
incorrect.

Thank you so much for the report!

The patch below applies to ds/maintenance-part-1, to fix the problem.
Hopefully it also merges cleanly with the changes in ds/maintenance-part-3,
but I can deal with that when I submit my next re-roll.

Thanks!

Subject: [PATCH] maintenance: correctly handle missing subcommand

The maintenance builtin created in 679768e2a12 (maintenance: create
basic maintenance runner, 2020-08-25) has a flaw in that it does not
protect against a user running "git maintenance" without any additional
parameters. Correct this by adding a check on argc before looking for
the -h option.
