This is a minor bugfix release.  There is one real fix by

Johannes that would help people who manage symlinks with git.
Starting from this one I won't be touching debian/ directory,

nor supplying pre-built Debian binaries anymore.

The official maintainer seems to be reasonably quick to package

up things.  The packaging procedure used there seems to be quite

different from what I have, so I'd like to avoid potential

confusion and reduce work by the official maintainer and myself.
Also I've enhanced the post-update hook of git.git repository to

automatically prepare preformatted documentation, which I'll

cover in a separate message.

Thanks.  The most notable change is that debhelper isn't used to do the

packaging stuff, and the build-dependency has been dropped; this is

after my personal preference.
Below is the diff for reference, I think though it might be better if

you don't include the debian/ directory in the upstream package at all.

It may well be that I'm not always available immediately if things need

to be changed in debian/, but do as you wish.
Regards, Gerrit.
* don't use debhelper, use implicit rules.

* rename package git-tk to gitk; adjust Build-Depends*, Depends, Recommends,

  Suggests, Section, Description; Replaces: cogito (<< 0.16rc2-0) (ease

  upgrade from previous cogito packages which include git-core); Conflicts:

  git (<< 4.3.20-8) (/usr/bin/git transition).

* build with NO_OPENSSL=1 WITH_SEND_EMAIL=1 WITH_OWN_SUBPROCESS_PY=1

  prefix=/usr, python 2.3; disable t/t6001-rev-list-merge-order.sh (test

  fails with NO_OPENSSL=1).

[ message continues ]

One upside in Junio's debian packages is that they[1] work also in

sarge[2]. If he stops building them, we sarge users will miss them.

Any volunteers to maintain them, for example, through backports.org?
[1] at least git-core and git-doc work

[2] Debian 3.1

Thanks to Norbert Tretkowski, the git* and cogito packages are now

available for Debian sarge through http://backports.org/.
Regards, Gerrit.
