Commit 0b080a70ab (doc: git-diff: apply format changes to
diff-generate-patch, 2024-11-18) wrapped the ".." in
mode <mode>,<mode>..<mode>
in backticks. Note how the line before is quite similar,
index <hash>,<hash>..<hash>
but did not get any backticks. Remove the backticks, since they confuse
Asciidoctor.
The exact failure mode changed with c87b2b3a6f (doc: fix asciidoctor
synopsis processing of triple-dots, 2025-04-12), and arguably to the
better. But Asciidoctor (2.0.18) still ends up confused by these
backticks and leaves the manpage rendering as
index <hash>,<hash>..<hash>
mode <mode>,<mode>`..__<mode>__
{empty}`new file mode <mode>
Drop the backticks. This is a no-op with asciidoc (10.2.0).

The error mode changes between 2.49.0 and 2.50.0-rc0, causing this to
stand out in "doc-diff". But this is strictly speaking not a regression
fix for 2.50.
