A new version 1.7.0.4-2~exp0 of git has been uploaded to experimental, with the source and main binary package renamed to git. There is a note in the NEWS.Debian.gz to help with the transition. Please try it out and let us know if you find any problems. If the git-core package is removed, it is no longer available to satisfy dependencies. For most packages, this is no problem, since git Provides: git-core. However, a Provides: does not satisfy a versioned dependency. The affected packages are listed below. For futureproofing and easy backporting, I believe they should use Depends: git (>= 1:1.7) | git-core (>= whatever) gnuit never had an epoch, so such a dependency would be safe. Now that there is a package available to test with, I would like to file bugs for the affected packages suggesting this change. I suggest an RC severity since it would be nice to have the name change in squeeze. I am therefore Cc-ing the release team for their input. A list of affected packages follows.
