[PATCH 3/3] doc: git-gui browser does not default to HEAD

37cd4f7 ("Document git-gui, git-citool as mainporcelain manual pages", 2007-06-21) documented the default, but was shortly followed by c52c945 ("git-gui: Allow blame/browser subcommands on bare repositories", 2007-07-17) which, it would appear, as a side effect, removed that default.

Finally document that change.
