git-show-ref: fix escaping in asciidoc source
Two "^" characters were incorrectly being interpreted as markup for superscripting. Fix them by writing them as attribute references "{caret}". Although a single "^" character in a paragraph cannot be misinterpreted in this way, also write other "^" characters as "{caret}" in the interest of good hygiene (unless they are in literal paragraphs, of course, in which context attribute references are not recognized). Spell "{}" consistently, namely *not* quoted as "\{\}". Since the braces are empty, they cannot be interpreted as an attribute reference, and either spelling is OK. So arbitrarily choose one variation and use it consistently. Signed-off-by: Michael Haggerty <mhagger@alum.mit.edu> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
