show-branch: don't use LASTARG_DEFAULT with OPTARG
5734365 (show-branch: migrate to parse-options API 2009-05-21) incorrectly set the --more option's flags to be PARSE_OPT_LASTARG_DEFAULT and PARSE_OPT_OPTARG. These two flags shouldn't be used together. An option taking a default should just set the default value desired and parse options will take care of the rest. Update the header comment to better convey this information.
