For tig I also adopted the nice man page headers git has. However, I have
used  asciidoc attributes provided on the command line avoid having to
use sed. I can make a patch later if nobody beats me. The required changes
are outlined below.

More untested stuff. Use -a to define git_version attribute:

$(ASCIIDOC) -b xhtml11 -d manpage -f asciidoc.conf \
                         $(ASCIIDOC_EXTRA) -agit_version=$(GIT_VERSION) -o $@ $<

Then change the @@GIT_VERSION@@ symbol in asciidoc.conf to {git_version}.
