check-ignore: correct documentation about output

Browse Source 
By default git check-ignore shows only the filenames that will be
ignored, not the pattern that causes their exclusion. Instead of moving
the partial exclude pattern precendence information to the -v option
where it belongs, link to gitignore(5) which describes this more
thoroughly.
