I like aligned usage strings, like:

$ git stash -h
Usage: git stash list [<options>]
   or: git stash show [<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 [save [-k|--keep-index] [-q|--quiet] [<message>]]
   or: git stash clear

or

$ git branch -h |& head -n 4
usage: git branch [options] [-r | -a] [--merged | --no-merged]
   or: git branch [options] [-l] [-f] <branchname> [<start-point>]
   or: git branch [options] [-r] (-d | -D) <branchname>
   or: git branch [options] (-m | -M) [<oldbranch>] <newbranch>

but Git isn't very consistant here:

$ git bisect -h |& head  -n 6
Usage: git bisect [help|start|bad|good|skip|next|reset|visualize|replay|log|run]

git bisect help
        print this long help message.
git bisect start [<bad> [<good>...]] [--] [<pathspec>...]
        reset bisect state and start bisection.
