[PATCH] doc: fix the 'revert a faulty merge' ASCII art tab spacing

The asciidoctor doc-tool stack does not always respect the 'tab = 8 spaces' rule expectation, particularly for the Git-for-Windows generated html pages. This follows on from the 'doc: fix merge-base ASCII art tab spacing' fix.

Use just spaces within the block of the ascii art.

All other *.txt ascii art containing three dashes has been checked. Asciidoctor correctly formats the other art blocks that do contain tabs.

The git-scm doc pages https://git-scm.com/docs/ does not convert this
how-to document to html, rather it links to the Github text pages, which
does respect the 8 space tab rule.
