Older versions of AsciiDoc would convert the "--" in
"--option" into an emdash. According to 565e135
(Documentation: quote double-dash for AsciiDoc, 2011-06-29),
this is fixed in AsciiDoc 8.3.0. According to bf17126, we
don't support anything older than 8.4.1 anyway, so we no
longer need to worry about quoting.
Even though this does not change the output at all, there
are a few good reasons to drop the quoting:
1. It makes the source prettier to read.
2. We don't quote consistently, which may be confusing when
reading the source.
3. Asciidoctor does not like the quoting, and renders a
literal backslash.

So this is the first of the more questionable patches, simply because we
are appeasing Asciidoctor, but not fixing the root problem (i.e., there
are still lots of places where the backslash quoting is messed up, like
HEAD@\{yesterday}). So I suspect we need to figure that problem out, and
then the asciidoctor issues will just go away. However, I think this may
be worth doing just to prettify the source.
