Fedora rawhide i386, with:

  asciidoc-7.0.2-3.fc6
  xmlto-0.0.18-13.1

Perhaps too old, not too new...

Can't imagine that it's too old.  You may have to bisect to figure
out what the culprit is. :o/

Eh, do you mean bisecting asciidoc?  I am not seeing the problem
with these on a freshly installed FC6:

Name   : asciidoc
Arch   : noarch
Version: 7.0.2
Release: 3.fc6

Name   : xmlto
Arch   : i386
Version: 0.0.18
Release: 13.1

```

Yeah.. don't see the problem here either.  But assuming there
is some strange interaction with Horst's environment, bisecting
would narrow it down.  Even though I don't really think bisecting
will turn up a problem in Git, it might identify the problem in
the environment..

Horst has a non-working combination that is:

 - tip of "master" of the day
 - Fedora rawhide i386 (whatever that is -- sorry I am new to RPM world)
 - asciidoc 7.0.2 3.fc6
 - xmlto 0.0.18 13.1

I have a working combination:

 - tip of "master" of the day
 - FC6 i386 (freshly installed)
 - asciidoc 7.0.2 3.fc6
 - xmlto 0.0.18 13.1

So the difference between me and Horst that can be bisected is
not what are listed above.  I wonder what other things come into
the picture.

"rpm -q --requires" tells us that:

 - asciidoc wants python >= 2.3
 - xmlto wants docbook-dtds, docbook-xsl >= 1.56.0, flex,
   libxslt, passivetex >= 1.11, util-linux, w3m

and here is what I have:

   asciidoc-7.0.2-3.fc6
   xmlto-0.0.18-13.1
   python-2.4.3-18.fc6
   docbook-dtds-1.0-30.1
   package docbook-xsl is not installed
   flex-2.5.4a-41.fc6
   libxslt-1.1.17-1.1
   passivetex-1.25-5.1.1
   util-linux-2.13-0.44.fc6
   w3m-0.5.1-14.1

"rpm -q --whatprovides docbook-xsl" says:

   docbook-style-xsl-1.69.1-5.1

and it is installed on the FC6 box.

The thing is, Horst implied everything worked before a recent pull.
It's worth at least going back to see if that's true.  Quite likely
that older version will no longer work anymore either, but maybe it
will.  Of course, if an older version no longer works, there's no
need to bisect further, something in the environment has changed.
Either way, it'll help narrow things down a bit.

Ah, Ok.

I explicitly asked about things that would help to narrow down
and Horst did not answer to any, so I took that "no info" as (0)
this is the first doc generation so it is unknown if older git
sources would generate docs correctly in the environment, (1)
not just git-daemon.1 but generating git-anything.1 is broken,
(2) not just git-daemon.1 but generating git-daemon.html is also
broken.

You interpreted the "no info" differently, which is valid.

Very true.
