Not quite.  That produces

usage: git fast-export [rev-list-opts]

    --progress <n>        show progress after <n> objects
    --signed-tags <mode>  select handling of signed tags
    --export-marks <FILE>
                          Dump marks to this file
    --import-marks <FILE>
                          Import marks from this file
    --fake-missing-tagger
                          Fake a tagger when tags lack one
    --data                Skip output of blob data

I don't see similar uses of OPT_NEGBIT, so maybe the necessary option
case hasn't been written yet (or I'm missing something obvious)?
