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-prune(1)
============
NAME
----
git-prune - Prunes all unreachable objects from the object database
SYNOPSIS
--------
'git-prune' [-n] [--] [<head>...]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This runs `git-fsck-objects --unreachable` using all the refs
available in `$GIT_DIR/refs`, optionally with additional set of
objects specified on the command line, and prunes all
objects unreachable from any of these head objects from the object database.
In addition, it
prunes the unpacked objects that are also found in packs by
running `git prune-packed`.
OPTIONS
-------
-n::
Do not remove anything; just report what it would
remove.
\--::
Do not interpret any more arguments as options.
<head>...::
In addition to objects
reachable from any of our references, keep objects
reachable from listed <head>s.
EXAMPLE
-------
To prune objects not used by your repository nor another that
borrows from your repository via its
`.git/objects/info/alternates`:
------------
$ git prune $(cd ../another && $(git-rev-parse --all))
