Thank you both; I have committed a fix in commit 540d4ad001.  This commit
also splits that part of the usage message up so that each part can be
translated separately.

Weird paragraph breaks in makeinfo man page

[積丹尼 Dan Jacobson]

Weird paragraph breaks in man page:
$ man makeinfo

   -o, --output=DEST
  output to DEST.  With split output, create DEST as a directory

   and put the output files there.
  With non-split output, if DEST is already

   a directory or ends with a /,
  put the output file there.

  Otherwise, DEST names the output file.

$ makeinfo --version
