I do not see any dq within dq here.  Perhaps you need to count again
to see which one pairs with which one.

What I see are these three strings concatenated together:

        --pretty=format: (which does not need any dq)
        %an"   "%ad     (the dq protects 3 SPs inside)
                        (an empty string inside the final dq pair)

So the single parameter that begins with --pretty given to "git log"
is exactly the same as what is inside the single dq pair in the
following:

	"--pretty=format:%an   %ad"

A more conventional way to spell it may however be one of:

	--pretty=format:"%an   %ad"
	--pretty="format:%an   %ad"
