Is this just a personal taste, or a correction to typography?

When using single quotes, the manpage displayed backticks.

It does not seem to do that to me:

    $ git help show-branch | grep 10,1 | od -bc
    0000040 146 154 157 147 075 342 200 231 061 060 054 061 040 150 157 165
              f   l   o   g   = 342 200 231   1   0   ,   1       h   o   u

I get this instead:
      0000040 145 146 154 157 147 075 302 264 061 060 054 061 040 150 157 165
                e   f   l   o   g   = 302 264   1   0   ,   1       h   o   u

It does not use ASCII single quote ' (\047) but the result still does
render well enough to keep anybody who are typing, following the printed
examples, from mistaking it from a backquote:

Yes, I was wrong, it wasn't a backtick.
