It was common in our documentation to surround short option names with
forward quotes, which renders as italic in HTML. Instead, use backquotes
which renders as monospace. This is one more step toward conformance to
Documentation/CodingGuidelines.
This was obtained with:
perl -pi -e "s/'(-[a-z])'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt

Similarly to the previous commit, use backquotes instead of
forward-quotes, for long options.
This was obtained with:
perl -pi -e "s/'(--[a-z][a-z=<>-]*)'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt
and manual tweak to remove false positive in ascii-art (o'--o'--o' to
describe rewritten history).

I think this is an improvement, assuming everyone is happy with the new
MAN_BOLD_LITERAL default.
I skimmed the diff and it looks there were no mis-conversions (I
recommend diff-highlight for this, as it makes it much easier to spot,
though perhaps --color-words would help, too).

git-am complains about the space indentation in the post-image. I know
it was there before your patch, but the indentation for that paragraph
is off. I wonder if it makes sense to fix it as a preliminary patch.

What's going on in the second line here? We remove the backticks from
grep.patternType (which is not even a thing that should be touched by
your pattern).

This one conflicts applying on top of master, but the resolution is

I can hardly blame you, though. I think English stole the word from
French and then switched its spelling. :)
You may also want put quotes around "--" to make it clear that you are
talking about it as punctuation, not using it as such in your sentence.
I read all the way through patch 6, and they all look good to me (though
the "litteral" typo appears again later). I won't bother responding to
each separately.
I do notice that your patterns are finding existing items marked with
single-quotes. We may have other cases lurking that are not quoted at
all (but should be). I think those could be a separate series, but if
anybody wants to look for them, I think searching for "\--" will help (a
literal double-dash needs that to avoid becoming an emdash).

Nice catch. What happened was that I initially wrote the series on top
of master, then rebased it on top of tr/doc-tt to avoid conflicts when
Junio merges both. I did check that re-applying the perl substitution
was leading to the same patch, but apparently I did something wrong.
I re-rechecked, re-found this instance and no other. Fixed in v2.

Sorry, I forgot to mention when sending the series: this is to be
applied on top of tr/doc-tt (in next, marked "will merge to master").

I never remember about double consonent, and indeed the fact that French
and English have different spelling for the same words doesn't help
(addition Vs adition, traffic Vs trafic, ...) ;-).
Fixed in v2.

Should all be fixed now.

Yes, this series (and tr/doc-tt) clearly catch just the low-hanging
fruits. Having forward quotes in the existing text makes it clear that
the author wanted some kind of formatting, and hence make regex-based
replacement rather reliable (very few false positive).
Unquoted stuff are more problematic since you can have for example
You should run `git foo --bar boz`
or multi-lines formatted code blocks, and a naive regex would match
--bar.

The rule seems to be more complex than this, for example "Implies
--porcelain" in https://git-scm.com/docs/git-blame is properly typeset,
although the source code has no escaping or quoting.
I'll keep these out of the series for now, I've added more ideas to
https://git.wiki.kernel.org/index.php/SmallProjectsIdeas#Fix_asciidoc_formatting_in_documentation
I may come back to this later.

There were just 2 mis-indented lines, I've added a preliminary patch to
fix them.

This should address all comments from Peff.
The series is now based on master (which now contains tr/doc-tt).
Content changes since v1:
* First patch (fix indentation prior to actual change to avoid 'git
am' warning) is new.
* One buggy replacement (`grep.patternType` -> 'grep.patternType')
removed.
Other fixes are typos and details in commit messages.

It was common in our documentation to surround short option names with
forward quotes, which renders as italic in HTML. Instead, use backquotes
which renders as monospace. This is one more step toward conformance to
Documentation/CodingGuidelines.
This was obtained with:
perl -pi -e "s/'(-[a-z])'/\`\$1\`/g" *.txt

Similarly to the previous commit, use backquotes instead of
forward-quotes, for long options.
This was obtained with:

describe rewritten history).
