Subject: [PATCH] diff,difftool: Don't use the {0,2} notation in usage strings

From: Štěpán Němec <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 04 Nov 2010 18:18:17 +0100

This was the only occurence of that usage, and square brackets are
sufficient and already well-established for that purpose.

Signed-off-by: Štěpán Němec <[email-masked]>

As per discussion upthread, this notation is not worth keeping; hence
not mentioning it in the v2 of the CodingGuidlines patch and this
removal.
