+SQ-QUOTE
+--------
+
+In `--sq-quote` mode, 'git-rev-parse' echoes on the standard output a
+single line suitable for `sh(1)` `eval`. This line is made by
+normalizing the arguments following `--sq-quote`.
+
+Example
+~~~~~~~
+
+------------
+$ git rev-parse --sq-quote "'''" '"""' "arg with space"
+ ''\'''\'''\''' '"""' 'arg with space'
