commit 55f8429b13e3172140cd75878da94868b2cdd00e
Author: G. Branden Robinson <g.branden.robinson@gmail.com>

    man pages: Shorten version footer.

    * **/*.man: Replace "Groff Version" with "groff" in the fourth
      argument to .TH in all man pages.  This suffices to keep that
      part of the footer from overruning the date, even in dirty
      trees.

    Fixes https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/index.php?53721.

Man page output is pretty grotty (natch) on 80-column terminals now that we're using git-version-gen.

I have a fix.  Here's the difference it makes:
