git (1:1.7.0.4-2~exp0) experimental; urgency=low

  The Debian package 'git-core' has been renamed to 'git'.  Before
  Debian version 5.0 (codenamed "lenny"), the 'git' package provided
  the GNU Interactive Tools, and in the lenny release, it was renamed
  to 'gnuit', leaving the 'git' package as a transitional dummy
  package.

  If the GNU Interactive Tools package was installed with Debian
  version 4.0 (etch) or earlier on this system, the new 'git' package
  (a content addressable filesystem) may be installed on upgrade, even
  though it was not installed before.

  In this case, sorry for the hassle.  Simply remove the new 'git'
  package again if you're not interested in it:

   # apt-get remove --purge git

git-core (1:1.6.0-1) experimental; urgency=low

  Most of the programs are now installed outside the default $PATH,
  except for "git", "gitk" and some server side programs that need
  to be accessible for technical reasons.  Invoking a git subcommand
  as "git-xyzzy" from the command line has been deprecated since
  early 2006 (and officially announced in the 1.5.4 release notes);
  using the "git-xyzzy" form in scripts after adding the output from
  "git --exec-path" to the $PATH is still supported in this release,
  but users are again strongly encouraged to adjust their scripts to
  use the "git xyzzy" form, as this support might be dropped in later
  releases.
