Sorry, but I do not understand this change.

https://git.github.io/htmldocs/git-merge-base.html is "Git generated
HTML page" and I do not see any breakage around the drawings this
patch touches, and the fp-path series does not touch these drawings,
either.

If a broken "doc-tool stack" breaks the formatting, I'd prefer to
see that "doc-tool stack" fixed, instead of working around by
updating the source they work on.  Otherwise, the broken "doc-tool
stack" will keep producing broken output next time a source that
respects "tab is to skip to the next multiple of 8" rule is fed to
it, no?
