remove incorrect documentation of annex.skipunknown behavior

Browse source 
git-annex get with no parameters and annex.skipunknown = false
in a directory with no files tracked by git results in the same
failure as with a "." parameter.

It may be that git ls-files --error-unmatch changed behavior? Or this
was just wrong.

(This is the default in recent versions of git-annex.)
Note that, when annex.skipunknown is false, a command like "git-annex get ."
will fail if no files in the current directory are checked into git,
but a command like "git-annex get" will not fail, because the current
directory is not listed, but is implicit. Commands like "git-annex get foo/"
will fail if no files in the directory are checked into git, but if
at least one file is, it will ignore other files that are not. This is
all the same as the behavior of "git-ls files --error-unmatch".
