Sorry, for not knowing how to do that properly in Asciidoc ;-).
The source to the man page and HTML page reads like this:
* A suffix '~<n>' to a revision parameter means the commit
object that is the <n>th generation grand-parent of the named
commit object, following only the first parent. I.e. rev~3 is
equivalent to rev^^^ which is equivalent to rev^1^1^1.
No the HTML page is screwed up too.
I know. The source reads like above, is what I said. Help from
Asciidoc savvy people is very welcomed.
