doc: clarify how -S works
The existing text was very vague about what exactly it means for difference to "contain" a change. This seems to cause confusion on the mailing list every month or two. To fix it we: 1. use "introduce or remove an instance of" instead of "contain" 2. point the user to gitdiffcore(7), which contains a more complete explanation Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
