[PATCH RESEND] git-svn: don't confuse editors with an apostrophe

From

The quotation mark serving as an apostrophe confuses editors and they think a large part of the rest of the file is a string. Change "you're" to "you are" to avoid this.

I sent this on 31-03-2011 but apart from Eric's ack, there was no reaction and I don't see it in the patch queue.
