sean e994004f93 Fix up docs where "--" isn't displayed correctly.
A bare "--" doesn't show up in man or html pages correctly
as two individual dashes unless backslashed as \--
in the asciidoc source.  Note, no backslash is needed
inside a literal block.

git-log(1)
==========
NAME
----
git-log - Show commit logs
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-log' <option>...
DESCRIPTION
-----------
Shows the commit logs.
The command takes options applicable to the gitlink:git-rev-list[1]
command to control what is shown and how, and options applicable to
the gitlink:git-diff-tree[1] commands to control how the change
each commit introduces are shown.
This manual page describes only the most frequently used options.
OPTIONS
-------
--pretty=<format>::
Controls the way the commit log is formatted.
--max-count=<n>::
Limits the number of commits to show.
<since>..<until>::
Show only commits between the named two commits.
-p::
Show the change the commit introduces in a patch form.
<paths>...::
Show only commits that affect the specified paths.
Examples
--------
git log --no-merges::
Show the whole commit history, but skip any merges
git log v2.6.12.. include/scsi drivers/scsi::
Show all commits since version 'v2.6.12' that changed any file
in the include/scsi or drivers/scsi subdirectories
git log --since="2 weeks ago" \-- gitk::
Show the changes during the last two weeks to the file 'gitk'.
The "--" is necessary to avoid confusion with the *branch* named
'gitk'
git log -r --name-status release..test::
Show the commits that are in the "test" branch but not yet
in the "release" branch, along with the list of paths
each commit modifies.
