 Filters consist of a filter pattern followed by a filter command.
 Filter patterns are globs by default, rooted at the repository root.
 For example, to match any file ending in "`.txt`" in the root
-directory only, use the pattern "++\*.txt++". To match any file ending
-in "`.c`" anywhere in the repository, use the pattern "++**.c++".
+directory only, use the pattern "\*.txt". To match any file ending
+in "`.c`" anywhere in the repository, use the pattern "**`.c`".
 
 The filter command can start with a specifier, either "pipe:" or
 "tempfile:". If no specifier is given, "pipe:" is used by default.
