When we render, e.g., "linkgit:gitglossary[7]." with Asciidoctor, we get "gitglossary(7) ." with a space between the linkgit macro expansion and the punctuation. We can fix this by dropping the trailing newline after we've turned `linkgit:foo[bar]` into `<citerefentry>..</citerefentry>`. The diff produced by `USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=Yes ./doc-diff HEAD^ HEAD` is almost 6000 lines large and shows how this fixes "git-foo(x) ,", "(see git-bar(y) )" and so on. One might wonder whether this also turns, e.g., "see linkgit:foo[1] for more" into "see foo(1)for more", but no. We get "...</citerefentry> for more" in the XML, see, e.g., git-am.xml, so the space ends up in git-am.1 just fine.
