RFS: git

[Jonathan Nieder <jrnieder@gmail.com>]

Dear mentors,

I am looking to upload version 1:1.7.4~rc1-0.1 of the package "git".
I sent an RFS for ~rc0 eight days ago; this is just a followup.

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: 499002, 507476, 524309, 540001, 576887,
577471, 578752, 581691, 583699, 585725, 588103, 598245, 600566, 600785, 606975,
607044

Warnings from lintian:

I: git source: missing-debian-source-format
I: git: conflicts-with-version git-core (<= 1:1.7.0.4-1)
I: git-man: spelling-error-in-manpage usr/share/man/man1/git-remote-ext.1.gz accessable accessible

The first is imho a lintian bug.  The second is real but I have not
tested the change to Breaks thoroughly enough to be comfortable with
it.  The third will be fixed upstream.

This is a non-maintainer upload to experimental to put the release
candidate in the hands of Debian users.  Gerrit is still on vacation
so I am still relying on you.

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~rc1-0.1.dsc

If anyone finds time to look it over or try it out and send feedback,
I would be very happy.

Regards,
Jonathan
