Hello giters,
git-fetch.1 and git-pull.1 from the man branch bogusly display for me
like this:
-a, --append
Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the existing contents of will
be overwritten.
with man 2.5.1, GNU groff 1.18.1 (note the part about FETCH_HEAD is
missing). This apparently changed in 5ca22945a:man1/git-fetch.1:
-Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the existing contents of \.git/FETCH_HEAD\
+Append ref names and object names of fetched refs to the existing contents of
+\.git/FETCH_HEAD\. Without this option old data in
+\.git/FETCH_HEAD
+will be overwritten\.
induced by 93d69d86: Refactored merge options into separate merge-options.txt.

I have no idea whether my man/groff is broken, or your asciidoc program,
or the sources; although, the online copy seems to be ok:

Cheers, and thanks for maintaining git,
