Hi!
I was just looking through the documentation for git shortlog, and realized
there is a problem with FILES section close to the bottom. In the version I
built of the man page (asciidoc 8.2.1, yes I used the compatibility define) the
filename .mailmap is missing, and the text starts with "If this file exists, ...".
Looking at the webpage version of the man page
(http://www.kernel.org/pub/software/scm/git/docs/git-shortlog.html) gives
another version, still not what I had expected: "mailmap:: If this file exists,
...", which is not much better.
Unfortunately, I'm completely illiterate in asciidoc/xmlto so I have no idea
where to start to look for a fix for this without changes to the text.
Hopefully someone else on the list is more knowledgeable. Or is it maybe better
to just reformulate this passage slightly to get around the problem? Something
like this (would we then like to reindent this? it would make the change look
much bigger), which seems to work with my asciidoc version:
