Re: [PATCH] rev-parse: fix mismatch quoting of separator in the message

I agree. But for what it's worth, I think we should:

  - accept patches, such as this one, which move things in a positive
    direction

  - not spend a ton of time or reviewer bandwidth on conversions
    throughout the tree

In other words, I'm happy to see patches like this, or little clean-ups
along the way in related areas, but I would be unhappy to see a massive
patch to change all instances from one to the other.

Oh, absolutely.  But let's not accept a small patch that swaps one
bad style `--' to another bad one `--`, which does not improve
anything.
