I know we've discussed this particular spot before, and I think there

since clearly no patch came out of the last discussion, and since
an inconsistent set of styles is probably worse than consistent use of
any of the choices, this makes sense to me as an incremental step.

If we want to move to all-backticks (for example) later on, we can
easily do so (or we can leave this as the final state).

Andrey helpfully dug up that thread off-list:

  http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/267990/

If we want to move to backticks, we probably want to also turn on
MAN_BOLD_LITERAL by default, or it's a step backwards for some folks.

As I was the person who suggested backticks back in that thread, and I
do not want to spend the time myself on figuring out if MAN_BOLD_LITERAL
is safe to use everywhere, I somewhat retract my suggestion.

I've queued this patch as-is for now, but I'd be happy to hear other
opinions, or if people want to dig into the MAN_BOLD_LITERAL thing.
