Show usage string for 'git commit-tree -h'

Treat an "-h" option as a request for help, rather than a "Not a valid object name" error. "commit-tree -h" could be asking to create a new commit from a treeish named "-h". Strictly speaking, such a pathological ref name is possible, but the user would have to had said something like "tags/-h" to name such a pathological already. commit-tree is usually used in scripts with raw object ids, anyway. For consistency, the "-h" option uses its new meaning even if followed by other arguments. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
