Fix and addition to git-diff

Fix and addition to git-diff

[Олег Самойлов]

Hi all.

This is a small patch with fix and addition to the man git-diff. This fix is obvious mistyping in man, there must be "..." instead of "..".

And I added an example about how this can be used. The reason is:

First, I don't know another reason to use a tree-ish with git diff. 
Second, the diff with empty tree is a real problem on what some people looking for solution (for various reasons):

And the solutions are not simple nor obvious. So I think it will be helpful to mention it.

 Just in case you are doing something exotic, it should be
 noted that all of the <commit> in the above description, except
-in the last two forms that use ".." notations, can be any
-<tree>.
+in the last form, that use the "\..." notation, can be any
+<tree>. For instance, if you want to make diffs against an empty
+tree, you can create a tag pointing to the empty tree:
+
+'git tag' empty $('git hash-object' -t tree /dev/null)
+
+And use it for the 'git diff', for instance, to check a working tree
+for whitespaces:
+
+'git diff' --check empty
