The need for the extensions could be replaced with a small amount of
Ruby code, if that's considered desirable.  Previous opinions on doing
so were negative, however.

Quite frankly, it is annoying to be forced to install the extensions. I
would much rather have the small amount of Ruby code in Git's repository.

Me too. Dependencies can be a big annoyance. I'd reserve judgement until
I saw the actual Ruby code, though. :)

I've sent the patch before, but I can send it again.  It's relatively
small and self-contained.  I'm also happy to be responsible for
maintaining it.

Ah, it's:

(and note there is some surrounding discussion there).

The code is not _too_ bad. The main thing is that it would have to be
kept up to date with changes to asciidoc.conf's version of the linkgit
macro. But it's not like that changes frequently.

Yes.  I think I can actually simplify it some more, since we always seem
to use the argument to linkgit, so I'll send out a simplified patch in a
few minutes.
