The symmetric difference or merge-base operator ... as used by
rev-list and diff is actually three period characters. If it
gets replaced by an ellipsis glyph in the manual, that would
stop readers from copying and pasting it.

While at it:
- remove some single-quotes that were being rendered as ’\n\';
- do not escape ellipses (...) when they do not represent the
literal three characters "...". We may want to ensure the
manpages render these as three ASCII periods to make the
manual pages easier to search, but that would be a global
output generation setting, not a context-specific thing;

Use the {asterisk} entity instead of \* or * to avoid both
stray backslashes in output and suppression of asterisks
misinterpreted as a bold-text delimiter.

Use the {tilde} entity to get a literal tilde without fuss.
With \~, asciidoc 8.5.2 (and probably earlier versions) keeps the
backslash in the output.

In v1.6.2.2~6^2~4 (Documentation: minor grammatical fixes
and rewording in git-bundle.txt, 2009-03-22), backslashes were
introduced before ~ to avoid introducing unintentional
superscripts. In one paragraph there is only one ~, though,
making that not a candidate for quoting, and asciidoc 8.5.8
passes the backslash through so the man page says "\~10..master".
Maybe there is an asciidoc behavior change involved.
In any case, we should replace tildes with a {tilde} entity which
means the same thing regardless of where it is found.

Due to some unpleasant interaction between the `quote', 'italics',
and `monospace` rules, a certain paragraph ends up rendered like so:
‘short` is a character for the short option
(e.g. <tt>'e\’</tt> for <tt>-e</tt>, use <tt>0</tt> to omit),
Use the {apostrophe} to avoid this.
While at it, escape "->" strings: they are meant as a literal
two-character C operator, not a right-pointing arrow.

For some reason, various manual pages have an asterisk escaped
with \ in the synopsis. Since there is no other asterisk to pair it
with, Asciidoc does not consider this asterisk escapable, so it passes
the backslash through.
Each page either uses [verse] or has only one asterisk, so it
is safe to drop the backslashes (checked with asciidoc 8.5.2).

An asterisk in "Documentation/*.txt" quoted with \ to avoid bold text
is being output as \* because asciidoc does not consider it a
candidate for escaping (there is no matching * to pair it with).
So the manual looks like it is saying that one should write
"Documentation/\*.txt" in the .gitignore file.

Intended output:
git rm Documentation/\*.txt
Removes all *.txt files from the index that are under
the Documentation directory and any of its
subdirectories.
Note that the asterisk * is quoted from the shell in
this example; this lets git, and not the shell, expand
the pathnames of files and subdirectories under the
Documentation/ directory.
Without this change, there are too many backslashes output.
Tested with asciidoc 8.5.2.

Without an indication to the contrary, Asciidoc puts 'quoted
text' in italics, making the output look like this:
git grep time_t -- *.[ch]
Looks for time_t in all tracked .c and .h
files in the working directory and its subdirectories.
git grep -e '#define\' --and \( -e MAX_PATH -e PATH_MAX \)
Looks for a line that has #define and either MAX_PATH or
PATH_MAX.
In the first example, the *.[ch] argument needs to be protected from
the shell, or else it will only match files in the current directory.
The second example has a stray backslash.

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.

I am not sure why, but the regular expression "(?:\^\{\})" gets
rendered by asciidoc as "(?:\{})". The intent seems to be a regex
matching the literal string "^{}", so this rewrites the markup to
produce "(?:\^{})" as output.

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.

The markup "'git log'\'s" produces a stray backslash in the
produced man page. Removing the backslash fixes it.
While at it, tweak the surrounding description for readability.
