[PATCH v2 2/2] Documentation: git-svn: fix a grammatical error without awkwardness

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.
