I'm not sure how these extra tabs help in the rendered text, or in the formatted HTML output for the git-scm.com web page. I do believe that we would want to re-wrap the paragraphs to ensure we are not using too many characters per line. Is there precedence for a simple tabbing like this? I was able to find a similar grouping for advice.* in Documentation/config/advice.txt, but it uses a different kind of grouping. Perhaps reorganize the file to use that strategy instead? Or, perhaps just point me to an existing use of this pattern. Thanks, -Stolee
