Subject: [PATCH 1/2] Correct ^0 asciidoc syntax in fast-import docs.
Message-ID: <20070208075844.GA3950@spearce.org>
URL: https://gitlist.dev/e/20070208075844.GA3950%40spearce.org

```
I wrote this documentation with asciidoc 7.1.2, but apparently
asciidoc 8 assumes ^ means superscript.  The solution was already
documented in rev-parse's manpage and is to use {caret} instead.
