tor man page screws up quotes when telling you to use quotes for command line
tor.1.txt says
You will need to
quote options with spaces in them: if you want Tor to log all debugging
messages to debug.log, you will probably need to say --Log 'debug file
debug.log'.
which results in a man page that says
You will need to quote options with spaces in them:
if you want Tor to log all debugging messages to debug.log, you will
probably need to say --Log debug file debug.log.
which sure isn't going to help anybody.
Changing both the ' to " seems like it resolves it.
The bad quotes went in during commit f5e86bc.
