[PATCH 1/6] git-http-push.txt,git-send-pack.txt: avoid single quote

From
MÅMartin Ågren <martin.agren@gmail.com>

Message-ID
<04e2d9de24db1e69803c495710f1f0908a12c91a.1620928059.git.martin.agren@gmail.com>
In-Reply-To
<cover.1620928059.git.martin.agren@gmail.com>

AsciiDoc matches up the very first backtick with the single quote towards the end, and renders that first backtick literally:

    `--force, ... other peoples' commits

Rewrite the "other peoples' commits" construction to drop the single quote mark.
