Subject: 29.2; Eshell: misaligned text in eshell/cp and eshell/ln usage
Date: Wed, 31 Jan 2024 22:18:50 -0500

Hi folks,

The second line of output in the eshell/cp usage text is misaligned due
to an extra space:

~ $ cp --help
usage: cp [OPTION]... SOURCE DEST
   or:  cp [OPTION]... SOURCE... DIRECTORY
...

There is an extra space between "or:" and "cp".

There is a similar misalignment in the output of eshell/ln.

Recipe:

1. emacs -Q
2. M-x eshell
3. In Eshell:

$ cp --help
$ ln --help

4. Observe misalignments in the first two lines of each output
