When given a sub-command that it doesn't understand, 'git multi-pack-index' dies with the following message: $ git multi-pack-index bogus fatal: unrecognized subcommand: bogus Instead of 'die()'-ing, we can display the usage text, which is much more helpful: $ git.compile multi-pack-index bogus error: unrecognized subcommand: bogus usage: git multi-pack-index [<options>] write or: git multi-pack-index [<options>] verify or: git multi-pack-index [<options>] expire or: git multi-pack-index [<options>] repack [--batch-size=<size>] --object-dir <file> object directory containing set of packfile and pack-index pairs --progress force progress reporting While we're at it, clean up some duplication between the "no sub-command" and "unrecognized sub-command" conditionals.
