commit 2d127eacd992c6533d653217632efb49f6df9fc0
Author: Nick Mathewson <nickm at torproject.org>
Date: Mon Jun 11 09:48:46 2012 -0400
List defaults consistently in manpage
Nearly everywhere, we end options with "(Default: foo)". But in a
few places, we inserted an extra period after or before the close
parenthesis, and in a few other places we said "(Defaults to foo)".
Let's not do that.
