[PATCH] Document positive variant of commit and merge option "--no-verify"

[Alex Riesen <alexander.riesen@cetitec.com>]

From: Alex Riesen <raa.lkml@gmail.com>

This documents "--verify" option of the commands. It can be used to re-enable
the hooks disabled by an earlier "--no-verify" in command-line.

Updated:

    -n::
    --[no-]verify::
	    By default, the pre-commit and commit-msg hooks are run.
	    When any of `--no-verify` or `-n` is given, these are bypassed.
	    See also linkgit:githooks[5].

So I did.
