Kristoffer Haugsbakk 7a96b75e05 gitcli: drop mention of “non-dashed form” ...

Git builtins used to be called like e.g. `git-commit`, not `git
commit` (*dashed form* and *non-dashed form*, respectively). The dashed
form was deprecated in version 1.5.4 (2006). Now only a few commands
have an alternative dashed form when `SKIP_DASHED_BUILT_INS` is
active.[1]

The mention here is from 2f7ee089df (parse-options: Add a gitcli(5) man
page., 2007-12-13), back when the deprecation was relatively
recent. These days though it seems like an irrelevant point to make to
budding CLI scripters—you don’t have to warn against a style that
probably doesn’t even work on their git(1) installation.
