If the title contains a double quote then we get results like these:
26b455f21e ("hashmap_put takes "struct hashmap_entry *"", 2019-10-06)
01991cee86 ("config/alias.txt: change " and ' to `", 2019-06-05)
I noticed the lack of quoting in the code and was worried about the
output being confusing or unclean, but after staring at the examples
above for a while I find that it's not that bad. It's reversible by
removing the outer quotes. So perhaps we can keep it like this.
