Overall the resulting text does look much better than the original, but - "git show" output is for your own consumption, it is not something you would feed other people (see patches from other people on the list, https://public-inbox.org/git/20180814110525.17801-7-ao2@xxxxxx/raw for example) - Please sign-off your patch (see Documentation/SubmittingPatches) - The patch is seriously whitespace damaged and does not apply. Please first try sending it to yourself and make sure it applies to the commit your change was based on, before sending it to the list.
