I don't see a reason why tiny documentation fixes (be it typos or not) should be less important than tiny feature code fixes, so imho it is totally ok ;-)

Out of curiosity I looked for typo-only fixes in git, and found:
88f6dbaf99f43053f86474b28beedd91e77c64d9
	builtin-apply: typofix
e77b0b5d0fdac411607dbae11ccad87dccd332d3
	git-am: fix typo in usage message
ed020917147ca733477a0186f3bb1791ec6e5b5c
	Documentation/git-web--browse.txt: fix small typo
51836e9e125f67aa26724154757b4734c08057e4
	Documentation/git-submodule: typofix
ca593f795994badf7cd543d24d1ed24aabc0d8e1
	Documentation/git-request-pull: Fixed a typo ("send" -> "end")
and so on ;-)
What I want to say: just send the patches in ;-)
Regards,
  Stephan
