* Advise usage of \~ escape instead of \SPACE; the former, a groff

advantage is that \~ is an _adjustable_ non-breaking space, so it
will typeset non-jarringly both in .EX/.EE examples when filling
is off, and in normal running text (which is filled).
Thanks for the patch!
You're welcome! I've found no use cases for "\ " in man pages. \~ is
almost always what is desired.
* Say "non-breaking" instead of "nonbreaking". These are the only
occurrences of either in the man-pages tree, except in
Changes.old, which uses "non-breaking".
I'll do as usual and copy here an extract from man-pages(7) :) :
Hyphenation with multi, non, pre, re, sub, and so on
Ahhh, ha. Yes. This is an impedance mismatch between the house styles
of the Linux man-pages and groff, at least as applied specifically to
the word "non-?breaking", which sees frequent use in discussions of
typesetting. >
BTW, this one also doesn't apply. I think it is probably your mailer.
Can you use git-send-email(1)?
Apparently not. :(
$ git send-email
git: 'send-email' is not a git command. See 'git --help'.
$ git --help -a | grep send
imap-send Send a collection of patches from stdin to an IMAP folder
send-email Send a collection of patches as emails
send-pack Push objects over Git protocol to another repository
I did a web search and did not find any reports that NeoMutt does
violence to Git-formatted patches. Perhaps it is GMail's fault? (I use
its SMPTS server to send mail.) Does someone on this list have
experience with this MUA and/or provider? Is there a trick?
This would explain my Michael despaired of my patch submissions even
when I kept their scopes under control.

Ping.
Ahha! I found the original patch thread :)
