git-merge-base.txt: render indentations correctly under Asciidoctor
There are several graphs in this document. For most of them, we use a
single leading tab to indent the whole graph, and then we use spaces
(possibly eight or more) to align things within the graph.
In the larger graph, we use a different strategy: We use 1-N tabs and
just a small number of spaces (<8). This is how we usually prefer to do
our indenting, but Asciidoctor ends up rendering this differently from
AsciiDoc. Same thing for the if-then-fi examples where the conditional
code is indented by two tabs, which renders differently under AsciiDoc
and Asciidoctor.
Similar to 379805051d ("Documentation: render revisions correctly under
Asciidoctor", 2018-05-06), use an explicit literal block to indicate
that we want to keep the leading whitespace in the tables. Change not
just the ones that render differently, but all of them for consistency.
Because this gives us some extra indentation, we can remove the one that
we have been carrying explicitly. That is, drop the first tab of
indentation on each line. With AsciiDoc, this results in identical
rendering before and after this commit, both for git-merge-base.1 and
git-merge-base.html.
A less intrusive change would be to replace tabs 2-N on each line with
eight spaces. But let's follow the example set by 379805051d, so that we
can use our preferred way of indenting.

Git is a fast, scalable, distributed revision control system with an unusually rich command set that provides both high-level operations and full access to internals.
Git is an Open Source project covered by the GNU General Public License version 2 (some parts of it are under different licenses, compatible with the GPLv2). It was originally written by Linus Torvalds with help of a group of hackers around the net.
Please read the file INSTALL for installation instructions.
Many Git online resources are accessible from https://git-scm.com/ including full documentation and Git related tools.
See Documentation/gittutorial.txt to get started, then see Documentation/giteveryday.txt for a useful minimum set of commands, and Documentation/git-<commandname>.txt for documentation of each command. If git has been correctly installed, then the tutorial can also be read with man gittutorial or git help tutorial, and the documentation of each command with man git-<commandname> or git help <commandname>.
CVS users may also want to read Documentation/gitcvs-migration.txt (man gitcvs-migration or git help cvs-migration if git is installed).
The user discussion and development of Git take place on the Git mailing list -- everyone is welcome to post bug reports, feature requests, comments and patches to git@vger.kernel.org (read Documentation/SubmittingPatches for instructions on patch submission). To subscribe to the list, send an email with just “subscribe git” in the body to majordomo@vger.kernel.org. The mailing list archives are available at https://public-inbox.org/git/, http://marc.info/?l=git and other archival sites.
Issues which are security relevant should be disclosed privately to the Git Security mailing list git-security@googlegroups.com.
The maintainer frequently sends the “What's cooking” reports that list the current status of various development topics to the mailing list. The discussion following them give a good reference for project status, development direction and remaining tasks.
The name “git” was given by Linus Torvalds when he wrote the very first version. He described the tool as “the stupid content tracker” and the name as (depending on your mood):
