-"git-ls-files --unmerged" and "git-ls-files --stage" can be used to examine
+`git-ls-files --unmerged` and `git-ls-files --stage` can be used to examine
detailed information on unmerged paths.
For an unmerged path, instead of recording a single mode/SHA1 pair,
the index records up to three such pairs; one from tree O in stage
1, A in stage 2, and B in stage 3. This information can be used by
the user (or the porcelain) to see what should eventually be recorded at the
-path. (see git-read-tree for more information on state)
+path. (see linkgit:git-read-tree[1] for more information on state)
When `-z` option is not used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters
in pathnames are represented as `\t`, `\n`, and `\\`,
Exclude Patterns
----------------
-'git-ls-files' can use a list of "exclude patterns" when
+`git-ls-files` can use a list of "exclude patterns" when
traversing the directory tree and finding files to show when the
flags --others or --ignored are specified. linkgit:gitignore[5]
specifies the format of exclude patterns.
in the same order they appear in the file.
3. command line flag --exclude-per-directory=<name> specifies
- a name of the file in each directory 'git-ls-files'
+ a name of the file in each directory `git-ls-files`
examines, normally `.gitignore`. Files in deeper
directories take precedence. Patterns are ordered in the
same order they appear in the files.
