[PATCH] Update documentation to remove incorrect GIT_DIFF_OPTS example.

[Sean <seanlkml@sympatico.ca>]

Git no longer calls an external diff program to generate patches.
Remove the documentation which suggests that you can pass
arbitrary diff options via the GIT_DIFF_OPTS environment variable.

-The patch generation can be customized at two levels.

-1. When the environment variable 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' is not set,

-
-      diff -L a/<path> -L b/<path> -pu <old> <new>

-The "diff" formatting options can be customized via the
-environment variable 'GIT_DIFF_OPTS'.  For example, if you
-prefer context diff:
-
-      GIT_DIFF_OPTS=-c git-diff-index -p HEAD

-
-2. When the environment variable 'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' is set, the

-     <old|new>-mode:: are the octal representation of the file modes.

-The file parameters can point at the user's working file
-(e.g. `new-file` in "git-diff-files"), `/dev/null` (e.g. `old-file`
-when a new file is added), or a temporary file (e.g. `old-file` in the
-index).  'GIT_EXTERNAL_DIFF' should not worry about unlinking the

 The `a/` and `b/` filenames are the same unless rename/copy is
 involved.  Especially, even for a creation or a deletion,
