MyFirstObjectWalk: update recommended usage
The previous change consolidated traverse_commit_list() and traverse_commit_list_filtered(). This allows us to simplify the recommended usage in MyFirstObjectWalk.txt to use this new set of values. While here, add some clarification on the difference between the two methods. Signed-off-by: Derrick Stolee <derrickstolee@github.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
