git-cola doesn't have any Ubuntu specific changes. So it is currently
imported directly from Debian.  1.8.0-1  is availiable in the current
development release, raring. It is extremely unlikely that it will be
pushed into already released versions like 12.04. Your best bet is to
try and get it into the backports repositories. See:
