Documentation/git-branch: cleanups
Most of the exact option strings to be typed by end users are already set in typewriter font by using `--option`, but a few places used '--option' to call for italics or with no quoting. Uniformly use `--option`. Also add a full-stop after a sentence that missed one. Signed-off-by: Vincent van Ravesteijn <vfr@lyx.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
