However, it turns out that some things in the Git manpages don't really render very well using that method. For example, in the git-rebase manpage, there are two history graphs that look like this when reading the manpages normally in a terminal: A---B---C topic / D---E---F---G master and then A'--B'--C' topic / D---E---F---G master However, in the PostScript rendering, they look rather like this: A---B---C topic / D---E---F---G master and then A'--B'--C' topic / D---E---F---G master It took me quite a while to figure out that the rendering was wrong. Before that, I just couldn't figure out why git-rebase would do that. :) Unfortunately, I can't say that I have a fix available -- particularly as I don't really know anything at all about asciidoc. I thought I'd at least let you know, though. Fredrik Tolf
