Package: git

I'm playing about with signed pushes, which I hope to use to allow the
dgit git server to be used for general git hosting (pushable by DDs
and DMs).

However, I see this:

  GIT_PUSH_CERT_KEY=A3DBCBC039B13D8A

There is almost no purpose for which this 64-bit keyid can be safely
used.  The full key fingerprint should be provided instead.

Although this might be an incompatible change, I think it is essential
because anyone who is relying on this info right now is insecure.

(Arguably this bug should have a higher severity than `normal'; but, I
suspect nearly no-one is using this feature.)
