Please sync git 1:1.7.8.3-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

This addresses bug 877812 (dpkg error when upgrading git package "Too
many links") and bug 905526 (regression in 1.7.7 in "git branch").

Changelog entries since current precise version 1:1.7.7.3-1:

git (1:1.7.8.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * new upstream point release.
  * debian/git.preinst: on upgrade from git <= 1:1.7.7-1, replace
    /usr/lib/git-core/git with a copy of itself.  This prevents "are the
    same file" errors when replacing hard links to the old copy with
    symlinks using "mv" (thx Jon Dowland and Anders Kaseorg; closes:
    #654596).
