Add a "[no-]" prefix to options without the flag PARSE_OPT_NONEG to document the fact that you can negate them. This looks a bit strange for options that already start with "no-", e.g. for the option --no-name of git show-branch: --[no-]no-name suppress naming strings You can actually use --no-no-name as an alias of --name, so the short help is not wrong. If we strip off any of the "no-"s, we lose either the ability to see if the remaining one belongs to the documented variant or to see if it can be negated.
