[PATCH v3 2/7] doc: align 'diff --no-index' in text and synopsis

From: Andreas Heiduk <hidden>
Date: 2018-05-03 18:49:02
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

Make the two '<path>' parameters in DESCRIPTION mandatory and
move the `--options` part to the same place where the other
variants show them. And finally make `--no-index` in SYNOPSIS
as mandatory as in DESCRIPTION.
