Martin Ågren 0ee7a9afa1 git-column.txt: fix section header
We have too few dashes under "Examples", which causes Asciidoctor to not
pick it up as a section header. Instead, it thinks we are starting a
code listing block, which ends up containing the remainder of the
document. The result is quite ugly.

Make sure we have as many dashes as we have characters in "Examples".
Asciidoc renders identically before and after this patch, both man-page
and html.

=============
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=<N>::
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
v2.4.8 v2.4.9
