I think it is more clear without this, since we imply elsewhere that
diff-* accepts the options in diff-options.txt. Documenting "-r" in
the only place it applies (diff-tree) means we don't need exceptions
anywhere else.
Incidentally, I think it would make more sense if diff-tree defaulted
to recursive behavior and required a flag to produce non-recursive
behavior, but I realize that's impractical now, and only of minor
benefit.
