Andrey helpfully dug up that thread off-list: http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/267990/ If we want to move to backticks, we probably want to also turn on MAN_BOLD_LITERAL by default, or it's a step backwards for some folks. As I was the person who suggested backticks back in that thread, and I do not want to spend the time myself on figuring out if MAN_BOLD_LITERAL is safe to use everywhere, I somewhat retract my suggestion. I've queued this patch as-is for now, but I'd be happy to hear other opinions, or if people want to dig into the MAN_BOLD_LITERAL thing. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
