The output in the *WoMan-Log* buffer for the "bad" manpage:

I should have said also that man-1.6f-alt11 renders these Git's manpages well, unlike woman.

В 4.1/branch исправления не будут вноситься уже технически (заглушена очередь на сборку), поэтому прошу ошибки, актуальные для sisyphus/p7/t7, перевесить на текущие ветки или сизиф.

emacs24-common-24.3-alt8

The result is much better, but there is some garbage in the "git" man-page:

DESCRIPTION

	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.

	See gittutorial(7) to get started, then see \m[blue]Everyday
	Git\m[]^[1] for a useful minimum set of commands. The
	\m[blue]Git User’s Manual\m[]^[2] has a more in-depth
	introduction.

Another man-page with problems for woman comes from:

$ rpm -qf "$(which top)"
procps-3.3.7-alt1
$ 

The bad rendering:

Another man-page with problems:
