Staying with git versions prior 1.5 isn't either.  In fact, git had a 
much harder time with its usability reputation in those days.  In other 
words, if some user of Debian is rebutted by the upgrade path for a later 
git version, then the awkwardness of git 1.4.4 UI will be even worse.

Anyway this is all hand waving until someone can come with some evidence 
that git 1.4.4 is actually used by a significant amount of people, and 
that those people depend on dumb transfer protocols.
