My ancient 71c020c5 has the right numbers: asciidoc 8.4.1 is the one that introduced the new inline-literal behavior. Based on my little survey in http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/191738/focus=191790 we decided that "nobody" really uses such an old asciidoc any more. Evidently you are a counterexample. > I suggest just ejecting this patch and trying again, these RedHat > systems are still used in a lot of environments, especially by various > companies. Do you/they have to *build* the docs, as opposed to using the prebuilt ones coming from Junio? Perhaps we can make it so 'make man' refuses to run if asciidoc is too old, and give a message to the effect that you should 'make quick-install-man' instead. Otherwise we'll be working around the f{asterisk}{asterisk}{asterisk}ing quoting rules for years to come. -- Thomas Rast trast@{inf,student}.ethz.ch -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
