Hi Junio,

since 916a3c4b7 "Autogenerated manpages for v1.6.5.1-69-g36942", some of the man pages in the "man" branch have a lot of the ".ft C" and ".ft" noise. Apparently, you upgrade some parts of your system, as the changes that introduced the noise also show:

-.\" Generator: DocBook XSL Stylesheets v1.73.2 <http://docbook.sf.net/> +.\" Generator: DocBook XSL Stylesheets v1.74.3 <http://docbook.sf.net/>

And that new version seems to somehow end up producing: -\.ft C +\&.ft C

I thought this was already noticed a few days ago by Jonathan Nieder.

Ah, sorry for the noise then. I only searched the subject lines for "man", my fault.
