bug report, v1.7.12.1 -- Documentation/gitcredentials.xml:180: parser error

doing a source install of git v1.7.12.1, 
on the `make all doc` step, I get:

    XMLTO gitcredentials.7
xmlto: input does not validate (status 1)

<literal>credential.<emphasis role="strong"></literal> (which applies to all credentials), or
<literal>credential.&lt;url&gt;.</emphasis></literal>, where &lt;url&gt; matches the context as described

And with the resolution of this bug, 
the `make doc all` completed without further error.  

Not sure if my version of the xml parser does not recognize 
the emphasis tag, although many of these involved overlapping 
tags and sometimes I saw tags which wrapped literally nothing 
at all.  Have no idea what that might have been about.
