Message-ID
<pull.2023.v3.git.git.1754949872593.gitgitgadget@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To

From: Knut Harald Ryager <e-k-nut@hotmail.com>
Remove the extra and incorrect closing bracket, so that the line reads:
    [--filter=<filter> [--also-filter-submodules]]
instead of
    [--filter=<filter>] [--also-filter-submodules]]
Note: Both filter options were grouped when --also-filter-submodules
was added by commit f05da2b4. The extra bracket was added
later by commit 76880f05.
