rev-parse doc: pass "--" to rev-parse in the --prefix example
The "--" argument avoids "ambiguous argument: unknown revision or path not in the working tree" errors when a pathname argument refers to a non-existent file. The "--" passed explicitly to set was removed because rev-parse outputs the "--" argument that it is given.
