Thank you for filling out a Git bug report!
Please answer the following questions to help us understand your issue.

What did you do before the bug happened? (Steps to reproduce your issue)

git ls-remote -h

What did you expect to happen? (Expected behavior)

The same as git ls-remote --heads.

What happened instead? (Actual behavior)

Displayed the git ls-remote usage.

What's different between what you expected and what actually happened?

The usage indicates -h is the same as --heads, while -h is handled
upstream and always displays the usage of the command.

Anything else you want to add:

The same problem exists with the following commands:

  grep -h is supposed to not show filenames according to its usage string.
  show-ref -h is defined as some hidden option equivalent to --head.
