If replacing the non-ASCI apostrophes is the goal, aren't there a number of others in the same file worth cleaning up at the same time?

$ grep '’' Documentation/gitsubmodules.txt the submodule’s working directory pointing to (i). superproject expects the submodule’s working directory to be at. When deinitialized or deleted (see below), the submodule’s Git but no submodule working directory. The submodule’s Git directory the superproject’s `$GIT_DIR/config` file, so the superproject’s history The deletion removes the superproject’s tracking data, which are The submodule’s working directory is removed from the file

This does seem to be the only file which includes the non-ASCII apostrophe under Documentation.

Some tests include it (intentionally) as does contrib/credential/netrc/git-credential-netrc.
