Thanks for pointing that out.
Now cp's --help output looks like this:
Usage: ./cp [OPTION]... [-T] SOURCE DEST
or: ./cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
or: ./cp [OPTION]... -t DIRECTORY SOURCE...
Copy SOURCE to DEST, or multiple SOURCE(s) to DIRECTORY.
Mandatory arguments to long options are mandatory for short options too.
-a, --archive same as -dpR
--backup[=CONTROL] make a backup of each existing destination file
-b like --backup but does not accept an argument
--copy-contents copy contents of special files when recursive
-d same as --no-dereference --preserve=link
-f, --force if an existing destination file cannot be
opened, remove it and try again
-i, --interactive prompt before overwrite
-H follow command-line symbolic links
-l, --link link files instead of copying
-L, --dereference always follow symbolic links
-P --no-dereference never follow symbolic links
-p same as --preserve=mode,ownership,timestamps
--preserve[=ATTR_LIST] preserve the specified attributes (default:
mode,ownership,timestamps), if possible
additional attributes: links, all
--no-preserve=ATTR_LIST don't preserve the specified attributes
--parents append source path to DIRECTORY
-R, -r, --recursive copy directories recursively
