Subject: [PATCH 12/17] Documentation: remove stray backslashes in rev-parse manual

From: Jonathan Nieder <[email-masked]>
Date: Fri, 20 Aug 2010 05:35:03 -0500

Use the {asterisk} entity instead of \* or * to avoid both
stray backslashes in output and suppression of asterisks
misinterpreted as a bold-text delimiter.
