The custom handling of the "-h" option was broken in
ba5f28bf79e (ls-remote: use parse-options api, 2016-01-19), first
released with Git v2.8.0. We've been promising that it's a synonym of
--head, but it's not.

We could make this work again by supplying the
PARSE_OPT_NO_INTERNAL_HELP flag to parse_options(), but if we were
writing this command today we wouldn't make this an exception. Since
it's been such a long time let's just remove this rather than
restoring the exception to "-h" handling.
