[PATCH] enter_repo(): fix suffix precedence documentation

The ordering of the list of suffixes tested in enter_repo() is documented as "%s.git/.git", "%s/.git", "%s.git", "%s". This does not match the ordering of the list of suffixes tested in the code which is "%s/.git", "%s", "%s.git/.git", "%s.git". Fix this.
