```
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.

Looks good to me. I suspect it was copied from another spot where the
examples _were_ in a list (e.g., git-add's EXAMPLES section). Either
way, your fix is the right thing to do.

Thanks, both.  Looks good to me, too.
