Hi. More info here:

Re git, it has already been fixed in Unstable, which usually occurs
first due to being closest to the latest version and therefore the
closest to upstream fix.

Testing generally will be slower due to deliberate
migration delay, and Stable in general will be slower because it
requires fixes to be backported to older versions. Debian Stable
avoids version changes whenever possible, even for security
fixes.
