doc/pretty-formats: explain shortening of %gd
The actual shortening rules aren't that interesting and probably not worth getting into (I gloss over them here as "shortened for human readability"). But the fact that %gD shows whatever you gave on the command line is subtle and worth mentioning. Since most people will feed a shortened refname in the first place, it otherwise makes it hard to understand the difference between the two.
