I ran into the asciidoc 8 issue where some of the docs don't
get generated properly on my system with asciidoc 8.2.1.

Should I just downgrade? What would be the "best" version
to use.

I ran into problems with 8 a while ago, poked around for a while,  
couldn't find the cause of the problem, and so downgraded to the 7  
series (don't recall the exact version, but it was the last release in  
the 7 series). I figured this was just the simplest thing to do seeing  
as the official manual page archives are generated with 7, as far as I  
know.

I know that later a fix for the breakage that I was seeing was checked  
in (see 5162e69), so in theory 8 should be fine now (at least, the  
latest version of it, but I see you're using an older version which  
probably isn't affected by the link problem). What problem are you  
seeing? What version of Git are you using?

Cheers,
Wincent

I'm seeing the missing "+" problem which, after reading INSTALL, was 
fixed by adding
ASCIIDOC8=YesPlease to my command line. But after doing that I was still 
seeing .ft C like
this:

           .ft C
                   URL: one of the above URL format
                   Push: <refspec>
                   Pull: <refspec>

           .ft

where "<pre>" blocks in the html documentation show up. I was first 
seeing the problems
with git 1.5.4 and then yesterday built 1.5.4.2 and still have the above 
problem.
