The ultimate goal is for "git help" to display common commands in
groups rather than alphabetically. As a first step, define the
groups in a new block, and then assign a group to each
common command.

Add a block at the beginning of command-list.txt:

     init         start a working area (see also: git help tutorial)
     worktree     work on the current change (see also:[...]
     info         examine the history and state (see also: git [...]
     history      grow, mark and tweak your history
     remote       collaborate (see also: git help workflows)

storing information about common commands group, then map each common
command to a group:

     git-add          mainporcelain        common worktree

Hmm, did your update to Documentation/technical/new-command.txt get
lost? I don't see it any of the patches, but would have expected it to
be included in this patch which introduces the "common groups"
section.


Ah, you're right. A commit got lost in the process. Will fix that. Thanks.

Discussed previously: It also would be a good idea to mention that the
order in which "git help" displays the groups themselves is the order
they are declared here. Maybe just add one more line between the two
you already have above:

     # groups are output by 'git help' in the order declared here.


Indeed, I'll add the mention.

+### common groups

In the block below, the "### command list" line is protected by a "#
do not molest the next line" warning. Perhaps the same should be done
here? Alternately, make them more compact by incorporating the
warning:

     ### common groups (do not change this line)
     ...
     ### command list (do not change this line)

?


Yes, it's better. I shall modify this.
