Subject: [PATCH 03/17] Documentation: unbreak regex in show-ref manual

From: Jonathan Nieder <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 05:23:54 -0500

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.
