ls-tree --format expands %x followed by two hexadecimal digits to the character indicated by that hexadecimal number, e.g.:
$ git ls-tree --format=%x41 HEAD | head -1 A
It rejects % followed by a hexadecimal digit, e.g.:
$ git ls-tree --format=%41 HEAD | head -1
fatal: bad ls-tree format: element '41' does not start with '('This functionality is provided by strbuf_expand_literal_cb(), which has not been changed since it was factored out by fd2015b323 (strbuf: separate callback for strbuf_expand:ing literals, 2019-01-28).
Adjust the documentation accordingly.
