I compile git and its man pages myself and I just noticed that the man
pages (invoked with "git help log", for example) have a typesetting
problem. There are ".ft" commands here and there, like this:

    .ft C
    [i18n]
            commitencoding = ISO-8859-1
    .ft

Does anybody know why "man" prints those ".ft" commands? The
corresponding code in git-log.1 file is this:

    \&.ft C
    [i18n]
            commitencoding = ISO\-8859\-1
    \&.ft

Recently I upgraded my system from Debian 4.0 (Etch) to 5.0 (Lenny) and
it is possible that some tools which are related to compiling the man
pages are now newer versions.
