From a8fa6a08f4ff3ab99f99dd7ae989bd825071def3 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Denton Liu Date: Thu, 17 Sep 2020 00:44:07 -0700 Subject: git-diff.txt: backtick quote command text The modern way to quote commands in the documentation is to use backticks instead of double-quotes as this renders the text with the code style. Convert double-quoted command text to backtick-quoted commands. While we're at it, quote one instance of `^@`.
