Thanks. ref@\{specifier\} came from 552cecc2 (Teach "git reflog" a
subcommand to delete single entries, 2007-10-17) but that is so
distant past that the world must have changed too much that past
experiences would not help all that much X-<. There are too many
moving parts, older and more recent asciidoc, plus asciidoctor.
Those who care about gitman.texi may also want to check the end
result, as the toolchain there involves docbook, yet another moving
part.
Will queue. Thanks.
