* Documentation/core-tutorial.txt: Use rsync -rl instead of -rL.

I think there is a typo in the core tutorial. It appears that symlinks must be preserved when doing an rsync otherwise HEAD does not point to the right ref, it becomes a copy of it. If I:
$ rsync -rL rsync://rsync.kernel.org/pub/scm/git/git.git/ .git
Then when IS
$ git-read-tree HEAD fatal: Not a git repository
is what I get. However, doing:
$ rsync -rl ...
seems to work. The only noticeable difference is that the second creates HEAD as a symlink.
