Documentation/git.txt: clarify that GIT_TRACE=/path appends

Browse Source 
The current wording of the description of GIT_TRACE=/path/to/file
("... will try to write the trace messages into it") might be
misunderstood as "overwriting"; at least I interpreted it that way on
a cursory first read.

State it more explicitly that the trace messages are appended.
