I considered this possibility. I don't have a strong preference. The argument in favor of "--unsafe" is that adding a make target is more intrusive that adding a switch. Besides, we may want to include more files from other directories.

Good question. I misunderstood the asciidoc changelog. Older versions (before 7.0.4) understand "--safe", but not "--unsafe". Since version 7.0.4 is less than 2 months old, it would be reasonable not to go ahead with my patch right now.

Let's make a copy for now. Symbolic linking doesn't work - asciidoc recognizes and rejects symlinks.

--- [PATCH] Don't include ../README in git.txt - make a local copy

asciidoc 7.0.4 and newer considers such includes from parent directory unsafe.
