Subject: [PATCH 3/7] commit/status -h: show usage even with broken configuration

From: Jonathan Nieder <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 22 Oct 2010 01:45:47 -0500

From: Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy <[email-masked]>

"git status" and "git commit" read .git/config and .gitmodules before
parsing options, but there is no reason to access a repository at all
when the caller just wanted to know what arguments are accepted.

[jn: rewrote the log message and added test]
