[PATCH] doc: remove stray text in Git data model

From
Julia Evans via GitGitGadget <gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
Date

Message-ID
<pull.2014.git.1764699084703.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: Julia Evans <julia@jvns.ca>

I meant to delete this sentence fragment when rewriting this paragraph, but accidentally left it in. It's repetitive (since it was meant to be deleted) and it's causing some formatting issues with the note.
