[RFC/PATCH 0/2] some transport-helper "option object-format" confusion

I happened to be looking at the output of t5801 for an unrelated problem, and I noticed our git-remote-testgit spewing a bunch of shell errors. It turns out that its expectations do not quite match what the transport-helper code produces.

This series brings the test and documentation in line with how the transport-helper code behaves. But I'm not sure if we should be going the other way (see the comments on patch 2 especially), and bringing the transport-helper code in line with the others. Hence the RFC.

  [1/2]: t5801: fix object-format handling in git-remote-testgit
  [2/2]: doc/gitremote-helpers: match object-format option docs to code
