It's a shame to lose the information that was in the LONG_USAGE
message, though.  Maybe it could be incorporated into the OPTIONS_SPEC
before the opening "--", or maybe it could be used to clarify the
description in git-rebase(1).

Cc-ing Martin who carried out the parseoptification for advice.  Patch
left unsnipped below for reference.

Thanks and hope that helps,
Jonathan
