As said on IRC, "cue anti-git flamage". In debian we use a multitude
of version control systems and we shouldn't impose choice of a
specific VCS nor force people to use a VCS. I personally maintain
packages in git, in SVN and in no VCS and prefer either no VCS or SVN
for teams.

IIRC PET doesn't yet support git.
