>Description:

 "man merge" shows following output:
-- from here --
       -q     Quiet;  do  not  warn about conflicts.  -V Print 's
              version number.
---------------

 1) Before "-V", there should exist new-line.
 2) Before "'s", there should exist "RCS".

>How-To-Repeat:

	% man merge

>Fix:

 The corresponding roff source are followings:
-- from here --
.TP
.BI \-q
Quiet; do not warn about conflicts.
.BI \-V
Print \*r's version number.
---------------

 1) There should exist ".TP" line before ".VI \-V" line.
 2) Define "r" macore, like other RCS related manuals.
    In manpage rcs.1, The definition ".ds r \&\s-1RCS\s0" exists.
    We can use this macro for the manpage merge.1.

 Then, we can get following outpu:
-- from here --
       -q     Quiet; do not warn about conflicts.

       -V     Print RCS's version number.
---------------
