Bug description:
  First reported here[1]

  --------------------
  n 2.43.0, the git fast-export -h output appears to have changed such that all the args are now prefixed with [no-] breaking the string parse checks here and here.

  On 2.43.0:

  $ git fast-export -h
  ...
  --[no-]reencode <mode>
                            select handling of commit messages in an alternate encoding
  --[no-]mark-tags      label tags with mark ids
  On earlier version:

  --reencode <mode>   select handling of commit messages in an alternate encoding
  --mark-tags      label tags with mark ids
  --------------

  This also causes autopkgtest failure[2]
