Brian Gan 6586efe79a man: disable line wrapping
When help2man runs the repo script to generate man pages, the argparse
module relies on the COLUMNS environment variable to wrap help text.
This wrapping can cause URLs and descriptions to be awkwardly broken
across lines. Setting COLUMNS="10000" prevents argparse from wrapping
the output, keeping URLs intact in the generated man pages.

Additionally, this fixes a broken git documentation URL fragment for
--partial-clone in the repo script.
