Package: git-dpm
Version: 0.8.2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

If you look at /usr/share/doc/git-dpm/manpage.html with a browser
and copy some commands to the clipboard, then copy the same to a 
command window, the result will not work.

The commands in the web page contains invisible difference that
look right to the human eye but are not. There are characters that
look like hyphens but do not fuction as hyphens to a program.
There are also invisible characters that mess up the shell or git-dpm.

An example, (one of many possible), is this line:
git−dpm import−new−upstream −−rebase 
../new−stuff.orig.tar.gz

The above is from "Switching to a new upstream version" many of the
characters that look like hyphens in the above are not hyphens, and
will cause errors if copied to a commmand window.
