Subject: [PATCH 06/17] Documentation: clarify quoting in "git rm" example
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 05:30:24 -0500	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100820103024.GF10407@burratino> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100820101902.GA10356@burratino>

Intended output:

	git rm Documentation/\*.txt
		Removes all *.txt files from the index that are under
		the Documentation directory and any of its
		subdirectories.

		Note that the asterisk * is quoted from the shell in
		this example; this lets git, and not the shell, expand
		the pathnames of files and subdirectories under the
		Documentation/ directory.

Without this change, there are too many backslashes output.
Tested with asciidoc 8.5.2.
