Not according to groff(7), which says that \' produces:

  The acute accent ´; same as \(aa.

If you want an apostrophe or a single closing quote, use plain '; if you
want a straight ' as one might use at a Unix shell prompt, use \(aq. You
can use the standard facilities to define these to other names if you
find that more convenient.

IIRC git's manual pages are autogenerated? If so, it should be
relatively straightforward to fix the processor.
