Hi,

I just noticed that a space between "-f" and "git" is missing in `man git-branch`. The space is present in "Documentation/git-branch.txt", though. I am using `man` version 1.6c on macOS.

-f, --force
           Reset <branchname> to <startpoint> if <branchname> exists already. Without
           -fgit branch refuses to change an existing branch. In combination with -d (or
            ^^
Can you reproduce the "problem"?

Cheers, Lars
