core-tutorial.txt: Fix showing the current behaviour.

The --root option from "git diff-tree" won't do nothing
when is given to commands like git-whatchanged or git-log,
because those always print the initial commit by default.

This fixes the tutorial explaining the function of the
log.showroot configuration variable.

 and you will see exactly what has changed in the repository over its
 short history.
 
 [NOTE]
-The `\--root` flag is a flag to `git-diff-tree` to tell it to
-show the initial aka 'root' commit too. Normally you'd probably not

+When using the above two commands, the initial commit will be shown.
+If this is a problem because it is huge, you can hide it by setting
+the log.showroot configuration variable to false. Having this, you
+can still show it for each command just adding the `\--root` option,
+which is a flag for `git-diff-tree` accepted by both commands.
 
 With that, you should now be having some inkling of what git does, and
 can explore on your own.
