In git man, eg. git help filter-branch The code examples for command line or shell scripts inside .ft pairs use (smart?) quote instead of single quotes, like

  .ft C
   git filter-branch --tree-filter ´rm filename´ HEAD
   .ft

Is this intentional or just some configuration problem during compiling.
