[PATCH] docs: remove stray bracket from git-clone synopsis

From

Message-ID
<pull.2023.git.git.1753973177262.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
From: E-K-n <e-k-nut@hotmail.com>

The git-clone documentation contained an extra ‘]’ after `--also-filter-submodules]`.

This patch removes the duplicate ‘]’ so that the line reads:
    [--also-filter-submodules] [--] <repository>
instead of:
    [--also-filter-submodules]] [--] <repository>
