The way asciidoctor handles links is very primitive compared to docbook. Links are simply presented in the format "#{text} <#{target}>", which may not be all that bad for the future, but pollutes the doc-diff. By adding another modification to convert_inline_anchor() we can present links in a form very similar to docbook, diminishing the doc-diff. This significantly reduces the doc-diff: From: abysmal performance). These safety and performance issues cannot be backward compatibly fixed and as such, its use is not recommended. Please use an alternative history filtering tool such as git - filter-repo[1]. If you still need to use git filter-branch, please - carefully read the section called “SAFETY” (and the section called - “PERFORMANCE”) to learn about the land mines of filter-branch, and then - vigilantly avoid as many of the hazards listed there as reasonably - possible. + <https://github.com/newren/git-filter-repo/> filter-repo" .
