Subject: [PATCH v3 03/10] git-diff.txt: backtick quote command text
Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2020 00:44:07 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <ca9568c2ea7d28605633576609de53a2d79df22e.1600328335.git.liu.denton@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <cover.1600328335.git.liu.denton@gmail.com>

The modern way to quote commands in the documentation is to use
backticks instead of double-quotes as this renders the text with the
code style. Convert double-quoted command text to backtick-quoted
commands. While we're at it, quote one instance of `^@`.
