Documentation/log: clarify what --raw means
There are several "raw formats", and describing --raw as "Generate the raw format" in the documentation for git-log seems to imply that it generates the raw *log* format. Clarify the wording by saying "raw diff format" explicitly, and make a special-case for "git log": "git log --raw" does not just change the format, it shows something which is not shown by default.
