[PATCH] Documentation: update-index: -z applies also to --index-info

From: Bert Wesarg <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:49:43
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Possibly related (same subject, not in this thread)

Also mention, that --stdin and --index-info needs to be the last
option supplied and indicate this in the usage string.
