I just downloaded the latest git, and tried to build with:

 > make configure
 > ./configure
 > make all doc

build failed while "building" doc, asciidoc not found

I would have thought the configure would have detected that.....


I downloaded, built, and installed asciidoc, and re-built git, things 
are mostly good.

The documentation is still causing me trouble as my firewall doesn't 
like the html in Documentation/docbook.xsl, but that's probably a 
firewall issue.  Is there documentation method, not requiring active web 
access?

If you have XML catalogs configured properly on your system, xsltproc
will use them by default to avoid remote lookups.  On Debian, the
stylesheets and relevant catalog entries will be installed if you have
the docbook-xsl package installed.
