Subject: [PATCH] Minor grammar fixes for git-diff-index.txt
To: git@vger.kernel.org
"what you are going to commit is" doesn't need the "is" and does need a comma.
"can trivially see" is an unecessary split infinitive and "easily" is a more
appropriate adverb.

This corrects the previous grammar patch - the original use of "where" was
