From: Jonathan Nieder Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 10:26:13 +0000 (-0500) Subject: Documentation: clarify quoting in "git add" example X-Git-Tag: v1.7.3-rc0~15^2~13 X-Git-Url: http://git.tremily.us/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=1b6c6cf006eb18cbd7c93b53a8cb494bd35e963a;p=git.git Documentation: clarify quoting in "git add" example 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.
