Was just about to share the very same results, leading to 40 commands out of 142 built-ins outputting their usage info to stderr. Some additions on non-builtins: git-scalar also outputs its usage info to stderr. git-lfs does not have "usage text for -h". I have not tested git-svn and git-cvsserver properly (do not have installed the respective modules). On another note, git-p4 does not know "-h", but then gives usage info - to stdout(!)). Lastly, if you still read, test git-http-backend and git-filter-branch, as they show special behavior.
