Hi Tim,

seems that the original debian maintainer is working in the new gitg 
dependencies according to comments in bug reports:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=740423
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=706119

Hope to see everything in place and get those packages ready for 
Trusty+1 or maybe backport them to Trusty.

Regards
