Subject: [PATCH 04/17] Documentation: clarify quoting in "git add" example
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 05:26:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20100820102613.GD10407@burratino> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20100820101902.GA10356@burratino>
The intended text looks like this:
· Adds content from all *.txt files under Documentation
directory and its subdirectories:
$ git add Documentation/\*.txt
Note that the asterisk * is quoted from the shell in this
example; this lets the command include the files from
subdirectories of Documentation/ directory.
The current asciidoc 8.5.2 output has a backslash before _every_
asterisk, which is more confusing than it needs to be.
