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

and the HTML version at
http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-ls-files.html looks OK
as well. I see nothing that needs fixing in either case.
