This regression was fixed in 91a640ffb6d9 ("ls-remote: a lone "-h" is
asking for help") and the wrong help text was introduced in ba5f28bf79ea
("ls-remote: use parse-options api").
This patch removes the "-h" on the help text.

Without this patch, I'm able to run

	git ls-remote -h .

This patch removes that support.  Intended?

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan

*hihi* okay it was to counter-intuitive for me. "91a640ffb6d" talks about this
issue.

Thanks for enlightenment :-)
