The docbook manpage stylesheets convert cross-references with format the 'section called “%t”'. I personally prefer the asciidoctor version, but for now add a hack to minimize the diff. Thanks to the extensibility of Ruby we can override corresponding method in the man page converter. This fixes doc-diffs like: --worktree-attributes Look for attributes in .gitattributes files in the working tree as - well (see the section called “ATTRIBUTES”). + well (see ATTRIBUTES). This can easily be removed later once we are confortable with the asciidoctor version.
