core-tutorial.txt: Fix showing the current behaviour.
The --root option from "git diff-tree" won't do nothing
when is given to commands like git-whatchanged or git-log,
because those always print the initial commit by default.
This fixes the tutorial explaining the function of the
log.showroot configuration variable.
