This is not the first offender (show_guides above does so, too), but
please do not initialize static explicitly to 0 or NULL.

Style: "static const char *check_git_cmd(const char *cmd)". The
asterisk that turns the base type to a pointer to the base type
sticks to the identifier, not to the type.

I am guilty of suggesting "swapped"; even if we are going to mark
this as OPT_HIDDEN, I think we should be able to think of a better
name. I think the meaning of this boolean is "we know that this is
not a guide and is meant to be a command.", and I hope we can come
up with a name that concisely expresses that (e.g. "--not-a-guide",
"--must-be-a-command").

It is more idiomatic to say
if (!i)
around here.

The code does this after it:
if (builtin)
exit(run_builtin(...));
and returns. If we didn't get builtin, we risk leaking args.argv
here, but we assume argv[0] = cmd = "help" is always a builtin,
which I think is a safe assumption, so the code is OK. Static
checkers that are only half intelligent may yell at you for not
releasing the resources, though.
