Document -i flag to git-read-tree
Somehow I missed it when we updated read-tree to support the recursive merge strategy. Also -i should require -m as well, which the command did not check. Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <junkio@cox.net>

DESCRIPTION

After a successful merge, update the files in the work
tree with the result of the merge.
+-i::
+ Usually a merge requires the index file as well as the
+ files in the working tree are up to date with the
+ current head commit, in order not to lose local
+ changes. This flag disables the check with the working
+ tree and is meant to be used when creating a merge of
+ trees that are not directly related to the current
+ working tree status into a temporary index file.

<tree-ish#>::
The id of the tree object(s) to be read/merged.
