Hi,
make info seem to fails here recently.
The error message is:

makeinfo --no-split gitman.texi gitman.texi:17311: warning: @strong{Note...} produces a spurious cross-reference in Info; reword to avoid that. /home/vmiklos/git/git/Documentation//gitman.texi:17377: Cross reference to nonexistent node `[REMOTES]' (perhaps incorrect sectioning?). /home/vmiklos/git/git/Documentation//gitman.texi:11439: Cross reference to nonexistent node `[REMOTES]' (perhaps incorrect sectioning?). makeinfo: Removing output file `/home/vmiklos/git/git/Documentation/gitman.info' due to errors; use --force to preserve. make[1]: *** [gitman.info] Error 1 make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/vmiklos/git/git/Documentation' make: *** [info] Error 2

Here is what i did:

$ cat ~/bin/gittest #!/bin/sh

make info DOCBOOK2X_TEXI=docbook2texi exit $?

$ git bisect start $ git bisect bad master $ git bisect good v1.5.6-rc0 $ git bisect run ~/bin/gittest

It says:
5812473335161e3d8e5a1e085c5894a247472bdb is first bad commit

The commit obviously touches this part of the documentation but I don't see where the bug is.

I'm not sure, maybe this is a bug in the toolchain?
Thanks.
