Subject: [PATCH] Documentation: do not misinterpret pull refspec as bold text
Date: Fri, 3 Dec 2010 14:04:17 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20101203200417.GA15300@burratino> (raw)
Use the {asterisk} entity to avoid mistreating the asterisks
in "(e.g., refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/origin/*)" as delimiters
for bold text.
>From a quick search with 'git grep -e "\*.*\*"', this seems to
be the last example of this particular formatting problem.
