I do not think one extra level of "unknown option", even with hint, is worth the trouble. If we want to cater to those who expect "-h" to be more special than random "-<some single letter>", we should go all the way and make "-h" truly supported. If we do not, they can read "git help git" just like those who wonder what "git -X" means.
From what I gathered, we all agree that adding the "-h" shorthand is a good addition to the UI. Given that the "-v" option is understandably controversial, I could cut it from this patch.
Thoughts?
