Jean-Noël Avila 227c4f33a0 doc: add a blank line around block delimiters
The documentation is using the historical mode for titles, which is a
setext-style (i.e., two-line) section title.

The issue with this mode is that starting block delimiters (e.g.,
`----`) can be confused with a section title when they are exactly the
same length as the preceding line. In the original documentation, this
is taken care of for English by the writer, but it is not the case for
translations where these delimiters are hidden. A translator can
generate a line that is exactly the same length as the following block
delimiter, which leads to this line being considered as a title.

To safeguard against this issue, add a blank line before and after
block delimiters where block is at root level, else add a "+" line
before block delimiters to link it to the preceding paragraph.

git-column(1)
=============
NAME
----
git-column - Display data in columns
SYNOPSIS
--------
[verse]
'git column' [--command=<name>] [--[raw-]mode=<mode>] [--width=<width>]
[--indent=<string>] [--nl=<string>] [--padding=<n>]
DESCRIPTION
-----------
This command formats the lines of its standard input into a table with
multiple columns. Each input line occupies one cell of the table. It
is used internally by other git commands to format output into
columns.
OPTIONS
-------
--command=<name>::
Look up layout mode using configuration variable column.<name> and
column.ui.
--mode=<mode>::
Specify layout mode. See configuration variable column.ui for option
syntax in linkgit:git-config[1].
--raw-mode=<n>::
Same as --mode but take mode encoded as a number. This is mainly used
by other commands that have already parsed layout mode.
--width=<width>::
Specify the terminal width. By default 'git column' will detect the
terminal width, or fall back to 80 if it is unable to do so.
--indent=<string>::
String to be printed at the beginning of each line.
--nl=<string>::
String to be printed at the end of each line,
including newline character.
--padding=<N>::
The number of spaces between columns. One space by default.
EXAMPLES
--------
Format data by columns:
+
------------
$ seq 1 24 | git column --mode=column --padding=5
1 4 7 10 13 16 19 22
2 5 8 11 14 17 20 23
3 6 9 12 15 18 21 24
------------
Format data by rows:
+
------------
$ seq 1 21 | git column --mode=row --padding=5
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
8 9 10 11 12 13 14
15 16 17 18 19 20 21
------------
List some tags in a table with unequal column widths:
+
------------
$ git tag --list 'v2.4.*' --column=row,dense
v2.4.0 v2.4.0-rc0 v2.4.0-rc1 v2.4.0-rc2 v2.4.0-rc3
v2.4.1 v2.4.10 v2.4.11 v2.4.12 v2.4.2
v2.4.3 v2.4.4 v2.4.5 v2.4.6 v2.4.7
