Thanks.

I'm afraid, I can't always keep up with the git development speed. So it's quite possible that a debian/ directory in the git repository gets temporarily outdated and possibly broken, and I'm not available to update immediately.

Starting with version 1.0.8-1, this should work if you want to build Debian packages on sid or sarge from the maint or master branch (or the v1.1.1 tag) yourself:

 $ git checkout maint
 $ wget -q -O- http://ftp.debian.org/debian/pool/main/g/git-core/git-core_1.0.8-1.diff.gz |
 gunzip |patch -p1
 patching file debian/changelog
 patching file debian/control
 patching file debian/copyright
 patching file debian/rules
 patching file debian/git-core.docs
 patching file debian/git-doc.docs
 patching file debian/implicit
 patching file debian/git-core.postinst
 patching file debian/git-core.prerm
 $ chmod 755 debian/rules
 $ debchange -v 1.1.1-0.maint20060111 'git maint 20060111'
 $ dpkg-buildpackage -b -rfakeroot -uc -us
 [...]
 $ 
 
HTH, Gerrit.
