Bug Description

Binary package hint: mercurial

In mercurial-0.9.3-2 (Feisty), viewing the manpage for hgmerge via "man 1 hgmerge", or its source via "zcat /usr/share/man/man1/hgmerge.1.gz", gives lines that end with spurious ".sp"s. There is an "sp" troff macro (vertical space); perhaps these macros were intended to appear on a line by themselves (so as to actuallly be interpreted)? ...moving them to lines by themselves at least seems to remove them from site, though I don't see any discernable change to the output in man.

Other manpages (hg(1)) also have similar issues.
