The manpage did not make clean what source and resultlines refer to. This simple adjustment should remove that confusion.

Based on the question and answer on this Stackoverflow page: https://stackoverflow.com/questions/49370690/what-is-sourceline-resultline-in-git-blame-incremental-output

I was not able to `make man` because of docbook xsl verification issues unfortunately.
