This issue affects the display of current git-cvsimport and
git-svnimport doc pages. There was a general tidy-up done in
df8baa42fe4eeb5a021ac262caf601f44d2a5746 last October, but additions
since then didn't keep the layout.
I don't think there is a full "fix" for this; either the html docs are
ugly (see the -A section in the pages mentioned above as they are now),
or the asciidoc source files look odd (although that's probably not a
big problem) or the manpages look a bit funny.
This patch makes the html docs right, makes the asciidoc docs a bit odd
but consistent with what is there already, and makes the manpages look
OK using docbook-xsl 1.68, but miss a paragraph separator when using 1.69.
For the manpages, current is like
-A <author_file>
Read a file with lines on the form
username = User's Full Name <email@xxxxxxx>
and use "User's Full Name <email@xxxxxxx>" as the GIT
With this patch, docbook-xsl v1.68 looks like
-A <author_file>
Read a file with lines on the form
username = User's Full Name <email@xxxxxxx>
and use "User's Full Name <email@xxxxxxx>" as the GIT author and
while docbook-xsl v1.69 becomes
-A <author_file>
Read a file with lines on the form
username = User's Full Name <email@xxxxxxx>
and use "User's Full Name <email@xxxxxxx>" as the GIT author and
The extra indentation is to keep the v1.69 manpage looking sane.
