The Debian package is pretty trivial to maintain on top of upstream (thanks to topgit), and I am using it a bit as a test-case for workflow experiments. However, if you are interested in packaging, by all means, join me. In that case I'd suggest that you make the 0.6-1 Debian package after 0.6 is out, and I give you some hints up front and then simply stand by to help out. > 1 move all or most topgit-topic-branches to a private namespace, say > refs/top-heads because the patch branches pollute the output of git > branch.

I will try to be available for any support you might need. I just can't come up with a sufficiently long stretch of time to see through the next release right now.
