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.
