Comment (by arma):

 Replying to [ticket:29635 arma]:
 > Changing both the ' to " seems like it resolves it.

 Actually, the ' does something -- it makes the arguments underlined.

 If we want to keep that (I don't know man page conventions) then here is
 the fix:
 {{{
 -messages to debug.log, you will probably need to say --Log 'debug file
 -debug.log'.
 +messages to debug.log, you will probably need to say --Log "'debug file
 +debug.log'".
 }}}
