Package: git-core
Version: 0.99.9k-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.1

Hello.

I had previously agreed with Sebastian Kuzminsky (the previous cogito
maintainer) how to handle the conflicting /usr/bin/git binaries, and
I've just discovered he has orphaned cogito, and git-core now conflicts
with git.

Please change the conflict to git (<< 4.3.20-8) and use
update-alternatives to point /usr/bin/git to your git binary with a
priority less than 80.

GNU Interactive Tools's /usr/bin/git points to a transition script that
explains the situation to the user, then runs /usr/bin/gitfm (the
renamed git binary).

Post-etch, I will lower the priority of my git's alternative to lower
than yours, or just remove the transition script.

My sponsor should hopefully upload git 4.3.20-8 soon. I'll mail this bug
again when that happens.

If you want to see how I'm handling my end of the transition,
git_4.3.20-8 is at:

http://nessie.mcc.ac.uk/~ianb/debian/

I hope this plan is acceptable to you.

Regards,

Ian.
