Re: [Groff] Problem with MM spacing

[Blake McBride]

groff --version returns 1.22.2

Having said that, however, it is probably a git version I built at some
point.  I suggest that non-release versions of groff should display the GIT
revision number in addition to the version number in order to remove all
ambiguities.  I've suggested this to several other packages who have agreed
making debugging a lot easier.

Thanks.
