[PATCH] git pull manpage: don't include -n from fetch-options.txt

From

Message-ID

<20080125092839.GF4475@genesis.frugalware.org>
From: Miklos Vajna <vmiklos@frugalware.org>
The -n option stands for --no-summary in git pull
[jes: reworded the description to avoid mentioning 'git-fetch';
 also exclude '-n' conditional on git-pull -- ugly because of
 the missing "else" statement in asciidoc]
