Note that only the first two asterisks are escaped in my patch. For some
reason, escaping all three causes a literal '\' to appear in asciidoc's
output...
I changed the wording of your first paragraph a bit according to what I
thought it meant. Does it still convey what you wanted to convey, and is
it still correct?
Mapping between Subversion revision numbers and Git commit
names. In a repository where the noMetadata option is not set,
this can be rebuilt from the git-svn-id: lines that are at the
end of every commit (see the 'svn.noMetadata' section above for
details).
Also, I'm having a bit of trouble trying to get a definition to start
with a '.' character in AsciiDoc. Escaping the '.' produces a
definition block, but with a literal '\' before the '.'. If I don't
escape the '.', asciidoc thinks it's a section heading or something. Is
asciidoc just incapable of doing this, or am I missing something?
