Subject: [PATCH v3] docs: remove stray bracket from git-clone synopsis

From: "Knut Harald Ryager via GitGitGadget" <[email-masked]>
Date: Mon, 11 Aug 2025 22:04:32 +0000

From: Knut Harald Ryager <[email-masked]>

Remove the extra and incorrect closing bracket, so that the line reads:

    [--filter=<filter> [--also-filter-submodules]]

instead of

    [--filter=<filter>] [--also-filter-submodules]]

Note: Both filter options were grouped when --also-filter-submodules
was added by commit f05da2b4. The extra bracket was added
later by commit 76880f05.
