I don't think this kind of change goes in the right direction.
Currently, the general style seems to be that options are typeset in
monospaced font. I looked at git-merge and git-rebase (and git-log, of
course). But after your change, they are typeset in italics, in the HTML
version of the manual pages.
I did not find an advice on the preferred formatting, though, except for
the last sentence in Documentation/CodingGuidelines.
