Since the '-r' command-line option is a no-op provided only for
backward compatiblity, don't advertise it in the default usage.

Thanks.

It would have saved me a lot of time if you wrote that this option has
been a no-op since abd6970 (cherry-pick: make -r the default, 2006-10-05),
but the commit didn't remove it from the usage string, and it somehow
survived 9509af6 (Make git-revert & git-cherry-pick a builtin, 2007-03-01)
and later f810379 (Make builtin-revert.c use parse_options, 2007-10-07),
and it is about time to stop advertising it.
Thanks.  I didn't realize there was so much history to write about.
Has you queued this somewhere?
