 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.
