[PATCH] git-svn: don't confuse editors with an apostrophe

Carlos Martín Nieto· Mar 31, 2011, 15:02 UTC · lore

The quotation mark serving as an apostrophe confuses editors and they think a large part of the rest of the file is a string. Change "you're" to "you are" to avoid this.

Looks reasonable. Avoiding contractions may make life easier for folks less familiar with English overall
