Good eyes to spot the missing close-angle-bracket.  I'll add some
missing verb, e.g. "fix usage string", while queuing.

I would not bother replacing the fprintf() format string in the same
patch.  Hits from

    $ git grep '"usage:' t/helper

indicates that far less than half (3 among 12) reuses usage_str[]
for this purpose.  Making these "usage:" strings come from a unified
API (perhaps parse_options() family of functions have something more
appropriate than ad-hoc use of fprintf()?  I didn't check) might be
a welcome change but that is clearly outside the scope of the
mark-up fix, and I do not see touching only this one that still uses
fprintf() advances toward such a goal.

t/helper/test-chmtime.c:	fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s %s\n", argv[0], usage_str);
t/helper/test-delta.c:		fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s\n", usage_str);
t/helper/test-windows-named-pipe.c:	fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s %s\n", argv[0], usage_string);


t/helper/test-advise.c:		die("usage: %s <advice>", argv[0]);
t/helper/test-csprng.c:		fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s [<size>]\n", argv[0]);
t/helper/test-genrandom.c:		fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s <seed_string> [<size>]\n", argv[0]);
t/helper/test-genzeros.c:		fprintf(stderr, "usage: %s [<count>]\n", argv[0]);
t/helper/test-hash-speed.c:		die("usage: test-tool hash-speed algo_name");
t/helper/test-mergesort.c:	fprintf(stderr, "usage: test-tool mergesort generate <distribution> <mode> <n> <m>\n");
t/helper/test-strcmp-offset.c:		die("usage: %s <string1> <string2>", argv[0]);
t/helper/test-tool.c:	fprintf(stderr, "usage: test-tool <toolname> [args]\n");
