The nested list in the description of the -t option wasn't properly
indented.  Additionally, make it a horizontal labeled list since the
labels are all short.

IMHO, converting a vertical list to a horizontal list is a step in the
wrong direction, even if the labels are short. It is far easier to scan a
vertical list for a match than a horizontal list.

The linebreak after the label is useless when all labels are much
shorter than the indentation.

I use Junio's man pages, and they look like so:

       -t
           Identify the file status with the following tags
           (followed by a space) at the start of each line:

           H   cached
           S   skip-worktree
           M   unmerged
           R   removed/deleted
           C   modified/changed
           K   to be killed
           ?   other

That's not what I see.

       -t
           Identify the file status with the following tags (followed by a
           space) at the start of each line:

           H
               cached

           S
               skip-worktree

           M
               unmerged

           R
               removed/deleted

           C
               modified/changed

           K
               to be killed

           ?
               other
