Hi everyone,

I wonder if nobody noticed this yet, but since Asciidoc 8.2.3 git manpages are
broken in regard that gitlink macro is not handled correctly, and what you see
when issuing git --help is a lot of [1], [2], [3], etc that are completely
unreadable. I found this offending line in asciidoc.conf:

# Explicit so they can be nested.
(?su)[\\]?(?P<name>(http|....|link)):(?P<target>\S*?)(\[(?P<attrlist>.*?)\])=

If you add \b in front on (http|....|link) the macro then behaves correctly
(because it will match only when link is not preceded with other letters). This
is upstream bug and I wonder who is at fault here (git or asciidoc?).
