Hmph, I wonder how this interacts with the existing --sq option to the
same command in the mental model of end users.

Yuck --- does asciidoc formats this correctly?

Not very readable. A better example might be to demonstrate something
like this:
$ cat >your-git-script.sh <<\EOF
#!/bin/sh
# quote user-supplied arguments
args=$(git rev-parse --sq-quote "$@")
# and use it inside a handcrafted command line
command="git frotz -n24 $args"
eval "$command"
EOF
$ sh your-git-script.sh "a b'c"
i.e, put stress on how to use it, not on how it works internally.
