I think it's a documentation bug; the asterisk is a special character, so it is seeing the first one as the start of bold, instead of the one on the left side of *must*. > Keep in mind that the '*' (asterisk) wildcard of the local ref > -(right of the ':') *must* be the farthest right path component; > +(right of the ':') must be the farthest right path component; So the right fix is probably to quote the asterisk that is not part of the bolding, like: diff --git a/Documentation/git-svn.txt b/Documentation/git-svn.txt index 9229d45..3e22e40 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-svn.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-svn.txt @@ -693,7 +693,7 @@ listed below are allowed: tags = tags/*/project-a:refs/remotes/project-a/tags/* ------------------------------------------------------------------------ -Keep in mind that the '*' (asterisk) wildcard of the local ref +Keep in mind that the '\*' (asterisk) wildcard of the local ref (right of the ':') *must* be the farthest right path component; however the remote wildcard may be anywhere as long as it's own independent path component (surrounded by '/' or EOL).
