I noticed that even though all the links to gitrevisions(7) in the documentation sources point correctly to manual section 7 (where it belongs and is actually installed), the links are rendered in manpages as gitrevisions(1) (cf. e.g. git-diff(1)). The fact that the online docs have gitrevisions(7) would indicate that only some backends are broken (I can confirm the man backend at least). Could some Asciidoc wizard have a look at the macro definition in Documentation/asciidoc.conf?

Probably your copy of the reference manual precedes v1.7.3.2~12 (Documentation: gitrevisions is in section 7, 2010-10-11).

Hope that helps, Jonathan

Ah, so it _is_ a PEBKAC after all... I was wondering :-) Thank you and sorry for the noise.
