Documentation: quoting trouble in "git rm" discussion
The current output (with Asciidoc 8.5.2) seems a bit broken: given two directories ‘d` and d2, there is a difference between using git rm 'd*’ and ‘git rm 'd/\*\’`, as the former will also remove all of directory d2. In other words, the markup parses as given two directories << d` and _d2_, there is a difference between using _git rm 'd* >>_ and << git rm 'd/\*\ >> `. I suspect there is an asciidoc bug involved (why is ' a candidate closing-quote mark when it is preceded by a backslash?) but with all the meanings of ` and ' involved I do not want to track it down. Better to use unambiguous {asterisk} and {apostrophe} entities. Signed-off-by: Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>

File globbing matches across directory boundaries. Thus, given

two directories `d` and `d2`, there is a difference between

using `git rm \'d\*\'` and `git rm \'d/\*\'`, as the former will
