Hello,
a friend of mine always builds the Debian Packages from unstable for
Debian Etch. I have on all my machines the following line in
/etc/apt/sources.list:

deb http://rmdir.de/~michael/git/ ./

apt-get update; apt-get dist-upgrade

and you're up2speed.

Is there some way you can feed that into Debian please? Why the go around
through a separate repository? The maintainer of git-core is not actively
maintaining the package?
