doc: fix merge-base ASCII art tab spacing
The doc-tool stack does not always respect the 'tab = 8 spaces' rule, particularly the git-scm doc pages https://git-scm.com/docs/git-merge-base and the Git generated html pages. Use just spaces within the block of the ascii art. Noticed when reviewing Junio's suggested update to `git merge-base` https://public-inbox.org/git/xmqqmvi2sj8f.fsf@gitster.mtv.corp.google.com/T/#u Signed-off-by: Philip Oakley <philipoakley@iee.org> Signed-off-by: Junio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
