When compiling the documentation, asciidoc thinks a backtick surrounded by whitespace shouldn't be interpreted as marking the start or end of a literal. In most cases, that's useful behaviour, but in the git-pull documentation the space is clearly intended to be part of the monospace formatted text. Instead, use + to avoid asciidoc's literal passthrough, and encode the space as {sp}. In particular, this means asciidoc will correctly detect the end of the monospace formatting, rather than having it continue past the backtick.
