stash: don't show "git stash push" usage on bad "git stash" usage
Change the usage message emitted by "git stash --invalid-option" to
emit usage information for "git stash" in general, and not just for
the "push" command. I.e. before:
$ git stash --invalid-option
error: unknown option `invalid-option'
usage: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
[--] [<pathspec>...]]
[...]
After:
$ git stash --invalid-option
error: unknown option `invalid-option'
usage: git stash list [<options>]
or: git stash show [<options>] [<stash>]
or: git stash drop [-q|--quiet] [<stash>]
or: git stash ( pop | apply ) [--index] [-q|--quiet] [<stash>]
or: git stash branch <branchname> [<stash>]
or: git stash clear
or: git stash [push [-p|--patch] [-S|--staged] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [-m|--message <message>]
[--pathspec-from-file=<file> [--pathspec-file-nul]]
[--] [<pathspec>...]]
or: git stash save [-p|--patch] [-S|--staged] [-k|--[no-]keep-index] [-q|--quiet]
[-u|--include-untracked] [-a|--all] [<message>]
[...]
That we emitted the usage for just "push" in the case of the
subcommand not being explicitly specified was an unintentional
side-effect of how it was implemented. When it was converted to C in
d553f538b8a (stash: convert push to builtin, 2019-02-25) the pattern
of having per-subcommand usage information was rightly continued. The
"git-stash.sh" shellscript did not have that, and always printed the
equivalent of "git_stash_usage".
But in doing so the case of push being implicit and explicit was
conflated. A variable was added to track this in 8c3713cede7 (stash:
eliminate crude option parsing, 2020-02-17), but it did not update the
usage output accordingly.
This still leaves e.g. "git stash push -h" emitting the
"git_stash_usage" output, instead of "git_stash_push_usage". That
should be fixed, but is a much deeper misbehavior in parse_options()
not being aware of subcommands at all. I.e. in how
PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN and PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP combine in
commands such as "git stash".
Perhaps PARSE_OPT_KEEP_UNKNOWN should imply
PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP, or better yet parse_options() should be
extended to fully handle these subcommand cases that we handle
manually in "git stash", "git commit-graph", "git multi-pack-index"
etc. All of those musings would be a much bigger change than this
isolated fix though, so let's leave that for some other time.
