Mail addresses in documentation are converted into mailto: hyperlinks in
the HTML output and footnotes in man pages. This isn't desirable for
cases where the address is used as an example and is not valid.
Particularly annoying is the example "jane@laptop.(none)" which appears
in git-shortlog(1) as "jane@laptop[1].(none)", with note 1 saying:
1. jane@laptop
mailto:jane@laptop
Fix this by quoting example mail addresses with "$$", preventing
Asciidoc from processing them.
In the case of mailmap.txt, render the address monospaced so that it
matches the block examples surrounding that paragraph.

I can't see any other uses of the "$$" quote in the documentation, so
it's probably worth noting that I've tested this with Asciidoc 8.6.8,
although I can't see anything in the changelog to indicate that
Asciidoc's treatment of it has changed recently.

By default, 'git tag' in sign-with-default mode (-s) will use your

+committer identity (of the form "Your Name $$<your@email.address>$$") to
find a key. If you want to use a different default key, you can specify
it in the repository configuration as follows:
