doc/git-branch: remove obsolete "-l" references
The previous commit switched "-l" to meaning "--list", but a few vestiges of its prior meaning as "--create-reflog" remained: - the synopsis mentioned "-l" when creating a new branch; we can drop this entirely, as it has been the default for years - the --list command mentions the unfortunate "-l" confusion, but we've now fixed that Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
