Thanks for testing these against older Asciidoctor and for the
helpful feedback on the commit messages.
I reworded the message in the first commit to make it clearer
that Asciidoctor renders the {apostrophe} literally. I updated
the body of the second commit using your suggested wording. It
was much better than the original. :)
The contents of each commit remain unchanged.

The {apostrophe} was needed at the time of a521845800 ("Documentation:
remove stray backslash in show-branch discussion", 2010-08-20). All
other uses of {apostrophe} were removed in 6cf378f0cb ("docs: stop using
asciidoc no-inline-literal", 2012-04-26).
- Escape only the leading single-quote. This renders properly in asciidoc
- and asciidoctor.
+ Unfortunately, the {apostrophe} is rendered literally with Asciidoctor
+ (at least with 1.5.5-2.0.3). Avoid this by using single-quotes.

Documentation/git-svn: improve asciidoctor compatibility
The second paragraph in the CONFIGURATION section intends to emphasize
- the word 'must' with bold type. Adjust the formatting slightly to
- provide similar results between asciidoc and asciidoctor.
+ the word 'must' with bold type. It does so by writing it as *must*, and
+ this works fine with AsciiDoc. It usually works great with Asciidoctor,
+ too, but in this particular instance, we have another "*" earlier in the
+ paragraph. We do escape it, and it is rendered literally just like we
+ want it to, but Asciidoctor then ends up tripping on the second (or
+ third) of the asterisks in this paragraph.
+
+ Since that asterisk is (part of) a literal example, we can set it in
+ monospace, by giving it as `*`. Adjust the whole paragraph in this way.
+ There's lots more monospacing to be done in this document, but since our
+ main motivation is addressing AsciiDoc/Asciidoctor discrepancies like
+ this one, let's just convert this one paragraph.
