In both the overview of a repository and in the details of a specific commit "ascii-style" lists are shown in a strange manner. Note in the attached images that item no. 2 onwards have an extra space of padding on the left. Additionally, the whole list (including the first item) get a monospaced font.

Server: Ubuntu 12.04 server
Git: 1.7.9.5

The output of 'git log' in the actual repo on the server is:

Improved daemon functionality

New features to the daemon:

 - It will check if it is already running via a lockfile
 - It handles SIGTERM: writes to the log and deletes the lockfile
 - blah blah blah
 - The usage() text reflects the changes

with one space before and after the dashes. The missing linebreak (subjective) is covered in Issue #10968. Also related is Issue #10886.

It seems the space before the first item in the list starts "monospace mode" and is therefore stripped.
