[PATCH] diff: handle "-" as abbreviation of '@{-1}'

Currently it just replace "-" in argv[] into "@{-1}".

For example,

    git diff -

equals to

    git diff @{-1}

Notes:
    Hello everyone, I'm Zhang Sen, a college student from Zhejiang University 
    in China, and this is a patch for the microproject of GSoC 2016. I'm 
    looking forward to contributing to Git and participating in GSoC 2016.

    I have learnt some rules and guides from the documents, and carefully 
    wrote this small patch, according to other code from git.

    Thanks a lot!
