This broke the documentation build with the log ending with something like ...

    GEN asciidoctor-extensions.rb
    GEN docinfo.html
    GEN howto-index.txt
    * new asciidoc flags
    ASCIIDOC git-tools.html
    ...
    ASCIIDOC howto/keep-canonical-history-correct.html
    ASCIIDOC howto/maintain-git.html
gmake[1]: *** No rule to make target 'asciidoc.conf', needed by 'technical/api-error-handling.html'.  Stop.
gmake[1]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs....
    ASCIIDOC howto/coordinate-embargoed-releases.html
asciidoctor: FAILED: 'asciidoctor-extensions' could not be loaded
  Use --trace to show backtrace
gmake[1]: *** [Makefile:428: howto/new-command.html] Error 1

I think all my builds these days (including the ones that push out to https://github.com/git/htmldocs.git that in turn results in pages at https://git.github.io/htmldocs/ getting updated) use asciidoctor with "USE_ASCIIDOCTOR=YesPlease", if it makes a difference.

Thanks.
