You mean:

No, I am using docbook-style-xsl-1.68.1-1, and compiling git from RPM.
Besids, I have different set of problems; only with literal blocks.
So while DOCBOOK_XSL_172 is not set... let me check...

Hmmm...

Before
$ man git-diff-tree

       Example:

       .ft C
       :100644 100644 5be4a4...... 000000...... M file.c
       .ft

$ make DOCBOOK_XSL_172=YesPlease doc
$ man Documentation/git-diff-tree.1

       Example:

              :100644 100644 5be4a4...... 000000...... M file.cWhen -z  option  is
              not  used, TAB, LF, and backslash characters in pathnames are repre-
              sented as \t, \n, and \\, respectively.

So setting DOCBOOK_XSL_172 while it fixes the bug (even if docbook-xsl
is version 1.68.1, not 1.72), but introduces another.

Unfortunately I don't know enough about AsciiDoc, DocBook and XML
toolchain to even *try* to fix this issue.


P.S. Alternate soution would be for SRPM to contain pre-compiled
manpages, and not require asciidoc and its toolchain to provide
manpages.
