It does not seem to do that to me:
$ git help show-branch | grep 10,1 | od -bc

It does not use ASCII single quote ' (\047) but the result still does
render well enough to keep anybody who are typing, following the printed
examples, from mistaking it from a backquote:

But in this particular case, because sq/dq does not make any difference to
