Can a command be listed twice? Some of these commands _really_ belong in
more than one category.

Of course it can. But what specific commands do you mean?

For the sake of brevity and clarity I would prefer just choosing the
most appropriate category rather than putting any in there twice.  I'm
trying to stay as close to 25 lines as possible, which is also why I
now think we should remove 'show' from the list, too.  The point is
not to be as accurate as technically possible, but instead to just be
a bit more presentable to new users - help them parse the needed
command set a little easier than one big list.

FWIW `git show` is among my top 5 commands according to my bash
history.

I think it's definitely among the commands that should be listed by
`git help` by default. It's needed whenever you want to inspect a
given revision.
