[PATCH] git add -i: replace \t with blanks in the help message

Within the help message of 'git add -i', the 'diff' command uses one tab character and blanks to create the space between the name and the description while the others use blanks only. So if the tab size is not at 4 characters, this description will not be in range. Replace the tab character with blanks.
