Yes, it's GitHub. I'm not interested in having an account there. There's
some trade-off there with me not being able to report bugs, but that
cuts both ways, so I don't feel bad about it.

Thanks. If you have better things to do, no worry.

Here are three variants where AsciiDoc 8.6.10 renders the same, with
emphasis:
single quotes that will not render literally: 'git cat-file'.
single quotes that won't render literally: 'git cat-file'.
single quotes that\'ll render literally: 'git cat-file'.
With Asciidoctor (2.0.15),
asciidoctor -b docbook5 -d manpage -o test.xml test.txt
the XML contains
<simpara>single quotes that will not render literally: <emphasis>git
cat-file</emphasis>.</simpara>
<simpara>single quotes that won’t render literally:
<emphasis>git cat-file</emphasis>.</simpara>
<simpara>single quotes that’ll render literally: 'git cat-file'.</simpara>
That last paragraph is not as expected. I expect <emphasis>.
I realize that a good answer here is "don't do that then". But the
background is that there's some other stuff going on that means AsciiDoc
needs that backspaced apostrophe. So this is a minimal reproduction for
Asciidoctor where we've lost some of the AsciiDoc-specific background.
A fix that works with both tools is an attribute:
:apos: '
single quotes that won{apos}t render literally: 'git cat-file'.
