The two spaces between each long option name and its description are
required by help2man. I.e., this change would mess up the generated
documentation:

-  -L, --files-without-match  print only names of FILEs with no
selected lines\n\
+  -L, --files-without-match print only names of FILEs with no selected lines\n\

I've just pushed the attached to avoid the false test failure.
