A bit more verbose still: Document the negative form on its own line

-v, --invert-match show non-matching lines
--no-invert-match opposite of --invert-match, default
-I, --no-index find in contents not managed by git
--index opposite of --no-index, default
I would expect _("opposite of %s, default") is acceptable by l10n
folks, and assuming it is, the above would be a good approach.
I was seeing what is likely to be in the -rc1 that will happen in
next week, and noticed that this discussion is left unconcluded. I
am tempted to declare that the latest iteration that shows the
negation of "--no-foo" as "--[no-]no-foo" is "good enough" for now,
and leave the above improvement as one potential future direction.
While it could certainly be improved in the future I think
"--[no-]no-foo" is probably good enough. I definitely prefer it over
"--[[no-]no]-foo"

Objections? Otherwise the 5-patch series will be in 'next'.
Thanks.
