Subject: [PATCH 08/17] Documentation: remove backslashes in manpage synopses

From: Jonathan Nieder <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 05:31:58 -0500

For some reason, various manual pages have an asterisk escaped
with \ in the synopsis.  Since there is no other asterisk to pair it
with, Asciidoc does not consider this asterisk escapable, so it passes
the backslash through.

Each page either uses [verse] or has only one asterisk, so it
is safe to drop the backslashes (checked with asciidoc 8.5.2).
