I don't disagree with the formatting change, but I am wondering if
there's a better way to do it. I tend to consider (perhaps wrongly)
that the use of .sp and .br is unidiomatic, and over the years I have
replaced a large of them with alternatives. (For example, in many
cases, .sp was being used when .PP should have been.)

If Branden does not tell us of something better, I will just apply
your patch as is.

Sorry, I don't know. (Not really an answer to your question,
but are you also aware of "git format-patch --to=... --cc=..." ?)

Thanks,

Michael
