RFS: git

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

Hi mentors,

Another week, another -rc (1:1.7.4~rc2-0.1).  I sent an RFS for -rc0
two weeks ago; this is just a followup.  The target distribution of
this proposed NMU is experimental.

It builds these binary packages:
git        - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system
git-all    - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (all subpacka
git-arch   - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (arch interop
git-core   - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (obsolete)
git-cvs    - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (cvs interope
git-daemon-run - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (git-daemon s
git-doc    - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (documentatio
git-email  - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (email add-on
git-gui    - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (GUI)
git-man    - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (manual pages
git-svn    - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (svn interope
gitk       - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (revision tre
gitweb     - fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (web interfac

The upload would fix these bugs: 465776, 466471, 499002, 507476, 524309,
540001, 576887, 577471, 578752, 581691, 583699, 585725, 588103, 598245, 600566,
600785, 606975, 607044.

Aside from the new upstream version --- which is the motivation --- this
brings some cleanups suggested by lintian and adds a new architecture-
independent git-man package so the documentation processing toolchain
does not have to run on autobuilders (nor on private machines when
testing with "debian/rules binary-arch BUILD_DOCS=").

Gerrit is on vacation (see debian-private).  With your help the new
upstream version could get some testing from users of experimental
before it releases.

The package can be found in the usual places:
- git://repo.or.cz/debian-git/jrn.git proposed-updates
- dget http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/git/git_1.7.4~rc2-0.1.dsc

I would be glad for any thoughts you have.

Regards,
Jonathan
