The option help text for the force-with-lease option to "git push" reads like this: $ git push -h 2>&1 | grep -e force-with-lease --force-with-lease[=<refname>:<expect>] which comes from having N_("refname>:<expect") as the argument help text in the source code, with an aparent lack of "<" and ">" at both ends. It turns out that parse-options machinery takes the whole string and encloses it inside a pair of "<>", to make it easier for majority cases that uses a single token placeholder. The help string was written in a funnily unbalanced way knowing that the end result would balance out, by somebody who forgot the presence of PARSE_OPT_LITERAL_ARGHELP, which is the escape hatch mechanism designed to help such a case. We just should use the official escape hatch instead. Because ":<expect>" part can be omitted to ask Git to guess, it may be more correct to spell it as "<refname>[:<expect>]", but that is not the focus of this topic.
