Merge branch 'ib/rev-parse-parseopt-argh'

Teaches the "rev-parse --parseopt" mechanism used by scripted
Porcelains to parse command line options and give help text how to
supply argv-help (the placeholder string for an option parameter,
e.g. "key-id" in "--gpg-sign=<key-id>").

* ib/rev-parse-parseopt-argh:
  t1502: protect runs of SPs used in the indentation
  rev-parse --parseopt: option argument name hints

 'git rev-parse --parseopt' input format is fully text based. It has two parts,
 separated by a line that contains only `--`. The lines before the separator
-(should be more than one) are used for the usage.
+(should be one or more) are used for the usage.
 The lines after the separator describe the options.
