Double dash "--" is incorrectly changed to a hyphen &ndash about gitiles

It's possible I might be able to work around this by escaping the dashes, e.g., 
\-- or some such. I'll do some testing to find out.

Yes, but the double dash transformation appears to be an undesired markdown
transformation? I don't see that in spec anywhere, and it seems to be a
destructive presentation formatting change.

there is a lot of variation in markdown specs and implementations, and I 
believe there are a number of implementations that do automatically turn -- 
into –

Which isn't to say this is a bug, just that it's not a particularly surprising 
one if it is, and it would be understandable if it was the default behavior and 
considered not a bug (at least, for non-code blocks).

It does look like escaping (at least) the first dash will disable the &ndashing.
