Some point after discovering this 'bug', I noticed that the documentation
in Documentation/git-fast-import.txt was accurate, so I added a comment at
the top of the file pointing people at that document, as I suspect it is
more likely to be kept up to date.  If my assumption is wrong, or would
prefer different wording, I'm all ears.

Good catch.  The grammar at the top of the file should be more
accurate than the documentation you point to.  This was just a
thinko when I wrote the grammar out in the header.
