[PATCH] docs: fix literal quoted spaces

From: Adam Dinwoodie <hidden>
Date: 2017-05-31 15:06:43
Subsystem: documentation, the rest · Maintainers: Jonathan Corbet, Linus Torvalds

When compiling the documentation, asciidoc thinks a backtick surrounded
by whitespace shouldn't be interpreted as marking the start or end of a
literal.  In most cases, that's useful behaviour, but in the git-pull
documentation the space is clearly intended to be part of the monospace
formatted text.

Instead, use + to avoid asciidoc's literal passthrough, and encode the
space as {sp}.  In particular, this means asciidoc will correctly detect
the end of the monospace formatting, rather than having it continue past
the backtick.
