I recommend re-installing the docbook-dtds package alone and in
isolation from other Yum/RPM transactions. If the xmlcatalog file is
correctly regenerated AND the docbook files are there AND you have
(re)run ./configure prior to running make AND you don't have filesystem

Don't do that unless you're using configure for git usually. I don't
think Francis is, he's setting make variables.

I won't, I just call make with some variables set.

errors THEN you should have a successful build. (Barring something that
crawls up out of the rabbit hole--other than a rabbit.)

Fix the most obvious possible problems first before seeking
off-the-beaten-path solutions or worse blaming somebody.

catalog sent to Francis off-list, which closes this topic for me.

Not really I'm afraid...

  xmlto -m manpage-normal.xsl --skip-validation man git-diff-index.xml
  I/O error : Attempt to load network entity http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd
  /home/fmoreau/git/Documentation/git-diff-index.xml:2: warning: failed to load external entity "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd"
  D DocBook XML V4.5//EN" "http://www.oasis-open.org/docbook/xml/4.5/docbookx.dtd"

This is with your catalog.

I really hope you don't have any filesystem errors. May be worth
checking before attempting to reinstall the docbook-dtds package.

In any case, you are apparently missing the docbook XML 4.5 DTD/XSL
files (from your local cache). It automagically fails over to trying to
fetch them over the internet (which I've noted doesn't work very well).

Ok, I fixed the problem by reinstalling the following packages:

    - docbook-style-xsl
    - docbook-dtds

I suspect something went wrong during Fedora major updates, at least
that's the one I'm going to blame for now ;)

Thanks both of you for your help.
