The errors were: xmlto: input does not validate (status 1) /home/hachi/rpm/BUILD/git-1.7.0.3/Documentation/git-filter-branch.xml:463: parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value 7 Clone it with git clone +++0+++. The clone ^ /home/hachi/rpm/BUILD/git-1.7.0.3/Documentation/git-filter-branch.xml:463: parser error : PCDATA invalid Char value 7 Clone it with git clone +++0+++. The clone I will happily admit that I don't know asciidoc, or the use of asciidoc in git.... but the +++ marker surrounding the url seems to not be used anywhere else in the documents directory, and I seem to be getting the appropriate output because of the `` surrounding the command. I'm not subscribed to the list, but I'll try to watch for replies. Would anyone like to either tell me I did this wrong, or apply my fix? Thanks much, hachi diff --git a/Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt b/Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt index 020028c..4f71c17 100644 --- a/Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt +++ b/Documentation/git-filter-branch.txt @@ -386,7 +386,7 @@ objects until you tell it to. First make sure that: Then there are two ways to get a smaller repository. A safer way is to clone, that keeps your original intact. -* Clone it with `git clone +++file:///path/to/repo+++`.
