Documentation: clarify quoting in "git rm" example
Intended output: git rm Documentation/\*.txt Removes all *.txt files from the index that are under the Documentation directory and any of its subdirectories. Note that the asterisk * is quoted from the shell in this example; this lets git, and not the shell, expand the pathnames of files and subdirectories under the Documentation/ directory. Without this change, there are too many backslashes output. Tested with asciidoc 8.5.2.
