I vaguely recall that we tried to avoid using '+++' because versions of
AsciiDoc that were widely used back when the bulk of documentation was
written either did not handle the construct correctly, or did not know
about it at all. So I would be very hesitant to take this patch as-is.
Giving a cursory look at:
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-revert.html
the first instance (HEAD~3) seems to be formatted Ok there (they run
AsciiDoc 8.4.5 with xmlto 0.0.23 on F13), but it seems that we do need to
do something with the second one (~5..master~2).
I think the problem is that AsciiDoc takes ~something~ as a mark-up for
something. Does it work to drop the backslash before ~5 and replace ~
with {tilde}, which was invented to deal with problems like this?
