I'm sure I'm the one who put it there, but I don't remember any
details. I think it unlikely I would have jumped to '<' without
trying '<' and hitting an error first, though maybe I really did.
Also, there could have been other edits since then; perhaps this was
only needed when other characters appeared later on the line? Or
maybe the '<' is only needed by asciidoc and not asciidoctor (or
vice versa; I have no clue which I was using)? Should we add a
"lessthan" field in Documentation/asciidoc.conf under "[attributes]"
and use "{lessthan}"?
Or, if this one really is spurious, should the same html entity in
Documentation/git-rev-list.txt be expunged as well?
Cc'ing brian who knows way more about asciidoc than I...

For what it's worth I checked with both asciidoc and asciidoctor in
multiple output formats and < works fine. I even checked an ancient
version of asciidoc and it works fine.
It doesn't seem like < was ever needed, and it doesn't work because
it's a literal section.

<= is automatically replaced with ⇐ as explained in the documentation
[1]. However, to prevent substitutions one doesn't need HTML coding,
just doing \<= is enough.
I don't know why people try to guess what asciidoc and asciidoctor
should do, they both follow the same specification, and I haven't seen
a problem in git documentation caused by either one of them not
following the spec, only by git not following the spec.
Just follow the spec.
Cheers.
