Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Documentation: cherry-pick: fix asciidoc problem with --
Message-ID: <20100625021625.12918.16047.chriscool@tuxfamily.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20100625021625.12918.16047.chriscool%40tuxfamily.org

```
Asciidoc interprets two dashes separated by spaces as a single big
dash. So let's escape the first dash, so that "master \-- README"
will properly appear as "master -- README".

	This patch should be squashed into patch 2/3 in the
	cc/cherry-pick-stdin series.
