format-patch documentation: Remove diff options that are not useful
To simplify reading the documentation for format-patch, remove the description of common diff options that are not useful for the purpose of the command (i.e. "Prepare patches for e-mail submission"). Specifically, this removes the description of the following options: --raw -z --color --no-color --color-words --diff-filter -S --pickaxe-all --pickaxe-regex -R --relative --exit-code --quiet Signed-off-by: Björn Gustavsson <bgustavsson@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
