add-patch: improve help for options j, J, k, and K
The options j, J, k, and K don't affect the status of the current hunk. They just go to a different one. This is true whether the current hunk is undecided or not. Avoid misunderstanding by no longer mentioning the current hunk explicitly in their help texts. Signed-off-by: René Scharfe <l.s.r@web.de> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
