TBH, I discovered this while diving into the rendering on manpages for
the localized version because asciidoctor issued a warning, and pushed
this patch for "cultural" knowledge (sometimes, automatic linefeed
triggers unintended behaviors). But, as Peff noted, this may not be a
good idea to render these documents at all on git-scm.com.

In this case, there's no point in tracking rendering issues outside
genuine manpages.
