Documentation/git.txt: clarify that GIT_TRACE=/path appends
The current wording of the description of GIT_TRACE=/path/to/file ("... will try to write the trace messages into it") might be misunderstood as "overwriting"; at least I interpreted it that way on a cursory first read. State it more explicitly that the trace messages are appended. Signed-off-by: SZEDER Gábor <szeder.dev@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
