What troubles me the most is that you seem to be forgetting that we are

I don't.  I have vivid memories of updating an ancient git repository of 
Git itself, which had some almost forgotten changes in it.  That was in 
the bad old days, when the version number did not even have a "1" in it.

It could not even fetch the current git.git.

I do _not_ want that to happen to anybody else, _even if_ we leave 1.4.4.4 
Behind as if it was an American Child.

Having said that, I do not have the resources to test and fix everything 
that may arise from Debian being seemingly unable to update to Git 1.5.  
So I agree completely that the ball is in Debian's half, and if they let 
it rot, it is sad, but I cannot help it.

Ciao,
