The notice that "git commit <paths>" default to "git commit
--only <paths>" was there since 756e3ee0 ("Merge branch
'jc/commit'", 2006-02-14). Back then, existing users of Git
expected the command doing "git commit --include <paths>", and
after we changed the behaviour of the command to align with
other people's "$scm commit <paths>", we added the text to help
them transition their expectations. Remove the message that now
has outlived its usefulness.
