* Documentation/core-tutorial.txt: Use rsync -rl instead of -rL.

I think there is a typo in the core tutorial. It appears that symlinks
must be preserved when doing an rsync otherwise HEAD does not point to
the right ref, it becomes a copy of it. If I:

$ rsync -rL rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ .git

Then when IS

$ git-read-tree HEAD
fatal: Not a git repository

is what I get.  However, doing:

$ rsync -rl ...

seems to work. The only noticeable difference is that the second
creates HEAD as a symlink.
