Currently `git fast-import -h` shows the following on a single line:
usage : git fast-import [--date-format=<f>] [--max-pack-size=<n>] \
[--big-file-threshold=<n>] [--depth=<n>] \
[--active-branches=<n>] \
[--export-marks=<marks.file>]
This output has a number of issues like:
- It's missing a lot of options.
- It's not consistent with the SYNOPSIS section of the doc.
- With `--help-all` instead of `-h` additional hidden options should
be shown, but that's not the case.
- It's not standard style anymore.
- Most other Git commands show additional lines for most of the
options they support.
Also while most commands use the parse-options API to handle their
options, "builtin/fast-import.c" still doesn't use it.
Let's improve on that by using the parse-options API to display the
options when `-h` and `--help-all` are used.
While at it, let's make the SYNOPSIS section of
"Documentation/git-fast-import.adoc" consistent with the new usage
string.
This deliberately leaves it to future work to also use the
parse-options API to actually parse the options.
