[PATCH 06/17] Documentation: clarify quoting in "git rm" example

From: Jonathan Nieder <hidden>
Date: 2016-06-15 22:49:21
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

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.
