Dear sir or madam,
I noticed a minor typo in `man 1 git-commit`.
There are two consecutive 'a'. At:
https://github.com/git/git/blob/maint/Documentation/git-commit.txt#L97
you can read:
---8<---
--reset-author::
	When used with -C/-c/--amend options, or when committing after a
a conflicting ...
---8<---
Please, remove one 'a'.

I searched the code for another occurrence with: git-maint$ for F in $(find . -type f); do grep -o "a_[[:space:]]a" <(paste -sd_ $F) | tr -d '_' ; done a a a a

One is in Documentation. The other is from a test file, no change needed there: https://github.com/git/git/blob/maint/t/t3904-stash-patch.sh#L94

Thank you in advance. Have fun.

Kind regards,
