Hello,

I have cloned the current Git release to my computer. I resolved all dependencies that were mentioned in the file "INSTALL". But when I've tried "make install install-doc" I got the message that "xmlto" was not found on my openSUSE 10.3 system. (I have installed it now.) Would you like to add this tool to the system requirements in the documentation?

Regards, Markus

It is already there, in the same INSTALL file:

 - To build and install documentation suite, you need to have
   the asciidoc/xmlto toolchain.  Because not many people are
   inclined to install the tools, the default build target
   ("make all") does _not_ build them.

Well, it is not strictly necessary to build git, and not even to install it, if you have the "man" branch.
