Nice, what you wrote here is definitely an improvement in readability.
This could potentially also have an else like I suggested in the
multi-pack-index patch earlier (later?) in the thread. Maybe something
like:

      else if (strcmp(argv[0], "..."))
        return graph_xyz(...);
      else
        error(_("unrecognized subcommand: %s"), argv[0]);
    usage:
        usage_with_options(...);

Arguably that could be done in this patch, separately, or not at all
;).

Thanks,
Taylor
