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.
