NAK.  Presumably you are using an asciidoc 8.x?  Please check if
saying

  make ASCIIDOC8=Yes man

fixes the problem.  Read the comments in Documentation/Makefile for
advice on what precise combination of options you should use.  Also,
if you do not want to actually work on docs

  make quick-install-man

is a much less painful way to get manpages (in this case, from Junio's
'man' branch that has preformatted manpages for 'master').

I put the +++ in there to stop the version I used at the time from
rendering the closing backtick as part of the URL and garbling the
entire paragraph in the process.  To be precise, with asciidoc 8.2.7
and without the +++ I get

  Clone it with <tt>git clone <a href="file:///path/to/repo</tt">file:///path/to/repo</tt</a>>.

in the HTML output.  Note the nested tags.  (With asciidoc 8.4.5 the
problem appears to be fixed.)
