[Bug 913977] Re: Sync git 1:1.7.8.3-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Colin Watson]

Looks good, thanks.  I'm going to use this bug as a test of some new
sync backend code, so (a) please can no other archive admin steal this,
and (b) please excuse any weird comments. :-)

Title:
  Sync git 1:1.7.8.3-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

Status in “git” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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).
