I noticed today that my amd64 machine was offered the git-core upgrade to 1.2.6-0bpo1. Previously only the older 1.1.3-0bpo2 version. Which means that someone either kicked the amd64 autobuilder or manually uploaded for amd64 the newer version. Among other things this enables gitk for me. I wanted to say thanks! And of course I want more. It would be great to have available a backport of the 1.3 version from testing. :-) Thanks again, Bob
