Hi guys again! Lemme ping you, as sadly no one offered to sponsor this
package yet... I made a few changes:
* fixed a reference to GPL2 (should be GPL3)
* moved my hand-crafted manpages to debian/ (so they don't require a patch)
* actually installed them (only the help2manned one was there[¹])
* renamed the source to git-tools, per Chris Lamb's suggestion.
* picked a fix from upstream
The m.d.n page:
http://mentors.debian.net/package/git-tools
dget
http://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/g/git-tools/git-tools_1.0.0-1.dsc
The main installed tool, "git restore-mtime" sets the timestamp of each file
in the working dir to the date of the last commit that touched that file.
This is useful whenever timestamps provide some value, as opposed to just
being older/newer than the result of a make command.
There's three other tools: "git clone-subset" butchers a repository (incl.
history) leaving only files you choose, "git find-uncommitted-repos"
searches your filesystem for unclean git repos, "git strip-merge" helps
drop some files during merge.
It would be nice if someone could sponsor this for me.
[¹]. Lintian checks only programs in [/usr]/[s]bin, not in /usr/lib/git-core,
so this did not get caught.
