Package: git-core
Version: 1:1.6.3.1-1
Severity: normal

In the example "To move the whole tree into a subdirectory, or remove it from 
there:"
there are 2 problems:
1: .ft C, and .ft is visible in the manpage
2: ´ is displayed instead of '
It is easy to confuse ´ with `, so the user might type ` instead of ', and the
command obviously won't work. The manpage should display the ' quote character,
not the oblique quote.

Here is the portion in question (copied from manpage):
.ft C
           git filter-branch --index-filter \
                   ´git ls-files -s | sed "s-\t-&newsubdir/-" |
                           GIT_INDEX_FILE=$GIT_INDEX_FILE.new \
                                   git update-index --index-info &&
                    mv $GIT_INDEX_FILE.new $GIT_INDEX_FILE´ HEAD
           .ft
