From: Philippe Blain <levraiphilippeblain@xxxxxxxxx>
Using '{caret}' inside double quotes and immediately following with a
single quoted word does not create the desired output: '<commit1>'
appears verbatim instead of being emphasized.
Use a litteral caret ('^') instead.
Also, remove the leading tabs in shell examples to bring them more in
line with the rest of the documentation.
