Hi, Branden!
`git am` applied it cleanly this time :)
However, the commit message was:
man-pages.7: Update nonbreaking space advice.
Taking another crack at this...
The commit message is everything up to the first ---, so if you want to
embed a non-commit message, it should go after that, not before. Or you
should make use of scissors (see git-am(1)).
I can fix it manually, but if you would like to try it yourself, please
sign the patch too :)
Regards,
Alex

v2:
- Stop correcting "nonbreaking" to "non-breaking".

* Advise usage of \~ escape instead of \SPACE; the former, a groff
extension from circa 1990, has been supported by Heirloom Doctools
troff since 2005 and by mandoc since 2019. The 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).
