From 209f129857bddd653e4ea2af2d310cbb8d8c8b5f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Shawn O. Pearce" Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2007 01:35:37 -0500 Subject: [PATCH] Correct ^0 asciidoc syntax in fast-import docs. I wrote this documentation with asciidoc 7.1.2, but apparently asciidoc 8 assumes ^ means superscript. The solution was already documented in rev-parse's manpage and is to use {caret} instead.
