doc: option value may be separate for valid reasons
Even though `git help cli` recommends users to prefer using
"--option=value" over "--option value", there can be reasons why
giving them separately is a good idea. One reason is that shells do
not perform tilde expansion for `--option=~/path/name` but they
expand `--options ~/path/name` just fine.
This is not a problem for many options whose option parsing is
properly written using OPT_FILENAME(), because the value given to
OPT_FILENAME() is tilde-expanded internally by us, but some commands
take a pathname as a mere string, which needs this trick to have the
shell help us.
I think the reason we originally decided to recommend the stuck form
was because an option that takes an optional value requires you to
use it in the stuck form, and it is one less thing for users to
worry about if they get into the habit to always use the stuck form.
But we should be discouraging ourselves from adding an option with
an optional value in the first place, and we might want to weaken
the current recommendation.
In any case, let's describe this one case where it is necessary to
use the separate form, with an example.
