In v1.6.2.2~6^2~4 (Documentation: minor grammatical fixes and rewording in git-bundle.txt, 2009-03-22), backslashes were introduced before ~ to avoid introducing unintentional superscripts. In one paragraph there is only one ~, though, making that not a candidate for quoting, and asciidoc 8.5.8 passes the backslash through so the man page says "\~10..master". Maybe there is an asciidoc behavior change involved. In any case, we should replace tildes with a {tilde} entity which means the same thing regardless of where it is found.
