Martin Ågren 6955047ff4 git-[short]log.txt: unify quoted standalone --
In git-log.txt, we have an instance of \--, which is known to sometimes
render badly. This one is even worse than normal though, since ``\-- ''
(with or without that trailing space) appears to be entirely broken,
both in HTML and manpages, both with AsciiDoc (version 8.6.9) and
Asciidoctor (version 1.5.4).

Further down in git-log.txt we have a ``--'', which renders good. In
git-shortlog.txt, we use "\-- " (including the quotes and the space),
which happens to look fairly good. I failed to find any other similar
instances. So all in all, we quote a double-dash in three different
places and do it differently each time, with various degrees of success.

Switch all of these to `--`. This sets the double-dash in monospace and
matches what we usually do with example command line usages and options.
Note that we drop the trailing space as well, since `-- ` does not
render well. These should still be clear enough since just a few lines
above each instance, the space is clearly visible in a longer context.

NAME
----
git-shortlog - Summarize 'git log' output
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git shortlog' [<options>] [<revision range>] [[--] <path>...]
git log --pretty=short | 'git shortlog' [<options>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Summarizes 'git log' output in a format suitable for inclusion
in release announcements. Each commit will be grouped by author and title.
Additionally, "[PATCH]" will be stripped from the commit description.
If no revisions are passed on the command line and either standard input
is not a terminal or there is no current branch, 'git shortlog' will
output a summary of the log read from standard input, without
reference to the current repository.
OPTIONS
-------
-n::
--numbered::
Sort output according to the number of commits per author instead
of author alphabetic order.
-s::
--summary::
Suppress commit description and provide a commit count summary only.
-e::
--email::
Show the email address of each author.
--format[=<format>]::
Instead of the commit subject, use some other information to
describe each commit. '<format>' can be any string accepted
by the `--format` option of 'git log', such as '* [%h] %s'.
(See the "PRETTY FORMATS" section of linkgit:git-log[1].)
Each pretty-printed commit will be rewrapped before it is shown.
-c::
--committer::
Collect and show committer identities instead of authors.
-w[<width>[,<indent1>[,<indent2>]]]::
Linewrap the output by wrapping each line at `width`. The first
line of each entry is indented by `indent1` spaces, and the second
and subsequent lines are indented by `indent2` spaces. `width`,
`indent1`, and `indent2` default to 76, 6 and 9 respectively.
+
If width is `0` (zero) then indent the lines of the output without wrapping
them.
<revision range>::
Show only commits in the specified revision range. When no
<revision range> is specified, it defaults to `HEAD` (i.e. the
whole history leading to the current commit). `origin..HEAD`
specifies all the commits reachable from the current commit
(i.e. `HEAD`), but not from `origin`. For a complete list of
ways to spell <revision range>, see the "Specifying Ranges"
section of linkgit:gitrevisions[7].
[--] <path>...::
Consider only commits that are enough to explain how the files
that match the specified paths came to be.
+
Paths may need to be prefixed with `--` to separate them from
options or the revision range, when confusion arises.
MAPPING AUTHORS
---------------
The `.mailmap` feature is used to coalesce together commits by the same
person in the shortlog, where their name and/or email address was
spelled differently.
