I run a mixed Lenny/sid machine here. It doesn't necessarily
work when I start to install things for etch. Certainly not
once testing upgrades its libc. Or?

true. But when you run sid you get a newer version of git automatically.
Sooner or later. And you can always build it yourself. It's a pain in
the ass until you have all build dependencies installed and all the
tests pass. Most of them you can get by typing:
apt-get build-dep git-core
But after that it is very straight forward.

I guess not so true. Because debian had always compatibility libs. So I
guess when they bump the libc revision on sid, they provide a compat
library at the same time so that you're able to run the old binaries.
But don't nail me down on this one. But for the mean time you should be
good with the packages I provided in the previous e-mail for sure.

Oh, I already build it before my previous post :p
I just did:
sudo apt-get install libz-dev asciidoc xmlto libexpat1-dev subversion unzip tcl8.4 libsvn-perl libcurl3-dev
after having a peek at git-core_1.5.2.1-1.dsc, and then it did build
just fine immediately.

good point, that makes sense. I have to keep that in mind. Last time I
looked at the failed tests, saw the missing dependency and tried again.

and you're up2speed.
If you don't trust that packages it is very easy to build them yourself:
Is there some way you can feed that into Debian please? Why the go around
through a separate repository? The maintainer of git-core is not actively
maintaining the package?
