[PATCH] shell doc: remove stray "+" in example

The git-shell(1) manpage says
	EXAMPLE
	       To disable interactive logins, displaying a greeting
		instead:
		+
		   $ chsh -s /usr/bin/git-shell
		   $ mkdir $HOME/git-shell-commands
[...]

The stray "+" has been there ever since the example was added in v1.8.3-rc0~210^2 (shell: new no-interactive-login command to print a custom message, 2013-03-09). The "+" sign between paragraphs is needed in asciidoc to attach extra paragraphs to a list item but here it is not needed and ends up rendered as a literal "+". Remove it.

A quick search with "grep -e '<p>+' /usr/share/doc/git/html/*.html" doesn't find any other instances of this problem.
