System command (cd "/usr/share/man" && (echo ".pl 11i"; /bin/bzip2 -c -d '/usr/share/man/man1/git-format-patch.1.bz2') | /usr/bin/gtbl | /usr/bin/nroff -mandoc | /usr/bin/less) exited with status 141. No manual entry for git-format-patch $ man -P cat git-format-patch | grep -q -e --notes Error executing formatting or display command.
