[PATCH 2/2] Fix minor grammatical and other formatting issues in the "git log" man page

["Jason St. John" <jstjohn@purdue.edu>]

Documentation/git-log.txt:
-- replace single quotes around options/commands with backticks
-- use single quotes around references to sections
-- replaced some double quotes with proper AsciiDoc quotes (e.g.
     ``foo'')
-- use backticks around files and file paths
-- use title case when referring to section headings
-- use backticks around option arguments/defaults

When working on this commit, I noticed a difference in how options and
option descriptions are separated (e.g. with a blank line or not). At least
with Vim's syntax highlighting, if there is a blank line between the option
and its description, the text block is all colored the same; however, if
there isn't a blank line, then the text block is not specially colored.

Is there an existing convention for how this should be done?
