Perhaps either the description or your reading is wrong.

The "--no-index" mode was a hack to allow "git diff" goodies to be
used outside the context of "git", and a proper execution of it
should have been to send patches to GNU or BSD diff maintainers, not
to add the "--no-index" option that is unrelated to "git" to our
code.

I think it is more correct to list it as a footnote and list
separately from the main text, which is what the original SYNOPSIS
section does.
