commit-template: remove outdated notice about explicit paths

The notice that "git commit <paths>" default to "git commit --only <paths>" was there since 756e3ee0 ("Merge branch 'jc/commit'", 2006-02-14). Back then, existing users of Git expected the command doing "git commit --include <paths>", and after the behaviour of the command was changed to align with other people's "$scm commit <paths>", the text was added to help them transition their expectations. Remove the message that now has outlived its usefulness. Signed-off-by: Kaartic Sivaraam <kaarticsivaraam91196@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
