Oh, the subliminal brain reminded me that we want to be able to
issue help or quit whether or not we had the "-f" flag, regardless
of the filesystem, and that "foreign" isn't ok unless the -f flag
is set, so we do need a class of "always works" commands.

I guess that was the point of the patch, but I suppose some clarity
in comments or commitlog would help slow people like me.  ;)
