Not quite as rare:

```
git add [--verbose | -v] [--dry-run | -n] [--force | -f] [--interactive | -i] 
[--patch | -p]
            [--edit | -e] [--[no-]all | -A | --[no-]ignore-removal | [--update 
| -u]] [--sparse]
            [--intent-to-add | -N] [--refresh] [--ignore-errors] 
[--ignore-missing] [--renormalize]
            [--chmod=(+|-)x] [--pathspec-from-file=<file> [--pathspec-file-nul]]
            [--] [<pathspec>...]
```

That said, as you can see, this is nearly impossible to visually parse and/or 
make any sense of it.

So, I agree, the rule of thumb should be something like:

1) Only list major modes of operation, on per line (much like what we already 
do in `rpm(1)`)
2) Only include the most useful options in given mode, not all of them

This is really a case-by-case thing, though, so no point in making up some 
strict rules, I guess...
