git-check-ref-format: clarify documentation for --normalize

dregad · gitster · commit 115a40add614 · 2017-02-21T13:02:42.000-08:00
Use of 'iff' may be confusing to people not familiar with this term.

Improving the --normalize option's documentation to remove the use of
'iff', and clearly describe what happens when the condition is not met.
