Documentation: fix missing text for rev-parse --verify
The caret (^) is used as a markup symbol in AsciiDoc. Due to the inability of AsciiDoc to parse a line containing an unmatched caret, it omitted the line from the output, resulting in the man page missing the end of a sentence. Escape this caret so that the man page ends up with the complete text. Signed-off-by: brian m. carlson <[email protected]> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <[email protected]>
