Subject: [PATCH v2 2/2] Documentation: git-svn: fix a grammatical error without awkwardness
Date: Wed, 22 Apr 2009 09:48:58 -0600	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1240415338-18076-2-git-send-email-wjl@icecavern.net> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20090422151515.GA12370@coredump.intra.peff.net>

The way the sentence is currently written, there needs to be an "its",
but this leads to: "however the remote wildcard may be anywhere as long
as it's its own" which is awkward to read.

Instead, this patch fixes he grammar in a simpler way.
