You can omit the `--no-index` option when It definitely is a good change to show two (and only two) <path> on the command line as non-optional arguments. I however find the change to mark that -"-no-index" is optional is inviting more confusion in the form presented in this patch. It is optional under specific conditions, and that is not conveyed with these two path arguments named very genericly (as opposed to making it clear that they are paths that are not managed by Git) on the example command line. I have a suspicion that it would be safer to have the description say under what condition "--no-index" becomes optional (which our text already does), without marking it as if it is always optional like this patch does (i.e. do not lose [] around it from this line). I dunno.
