That's probably a distribution bug (or a git makefile bug, depending
on how you look at it).  It would be better to ship the HTML
documentation, converted to text, instead of keeping the version with
markup including occasional random \ signs, linkgit:, ``, etc.

What distribution do you use?  (As maintainer of packaging for a Linux
distro, I know at least one that is guilty of this.)

Thanks,
Jonathan
