commit 0013a2e010a26f242925b33f8e66be83ebb23ef1
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    man pages: Stop using .TP for ersatz tables.

    Remove gratuitous calculated indent setting and page-local macro ("Tp")
    often used to facilitate it.  The pages that use this trick do it as a
    way to simulate a 2-column table.

    This is a generalization of the fix to Savannah #53797, in which Bjarni
    Ingli Gislason noted one instance in refer(1).

    Impact on nroff output with 80 columns:

[...]

    src/preproc/refer/refer.1:
    * All items in the list of refer commends now have a hanging tag (some
      did before, but the overall indent was much farther to the right).
    * File paragraphs in the FILES section now have mixed hangs.

[...]

Subject: [PATCH] refer.1.man: Remove excessive indentation

  A long indentation for whole paragraphs (macro "TP") wastes space,
the default one (7n) is enough.
