show-index: the short help should say the command reads from its input
The short help text given by "git show-index -h" says
$ git show-index -h
usage: git show-index [--object-format=<hash-algorithm>]
--[no-]object-format <hash-algorithm>
specify the hash algorithm to use
The command takes a pack .idx file from its standard input. The
user has to _know_ this, as there is no indication from this output.
Give a hint that the data to work on is fed from its standard input.
