+git (1:1.8.4~rc0-1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+ Starting with this version, gitweb and "git daemon" on Debian are
+ configured to look for repositories under /var/lib/git by default
+ instead of /var/cache/git. You may want to adjust your inetd,
+ rsyncd, and web server configuration to use the new base path.
+
+ See /usr/share/doc/git/README.Debian for details.
+
+ Symlinks are installed during the upgrade to ensure existing
+ repositories remain accessible. If no local scripts or
+ configuration depend on /var/cache/git then it is safe to remove
+ the old directory after replacing these symlinks with their
+ targets:
+
+ mv --backup /var/cache/git/* /var/lib/git/
+ rmdir /var/cache/git
+ rm /var/lib/git/*~

+git (1:1.8.2~rc0-1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+ The default behavior of "git push" when run without specifying any
+ ref names will change in the upcoming Git 2.0 release.
+
+ The previous default behavior was to use "matching" semantics: push
+ all branches for which there is already a branch of the same name on
+ the remote end. The new default is "simple" semantics: push the
+ current branch to a branch of the same name, provided that "git
+ pull" is configured to integrate with that branch. You can get a
+ glimpse of the future with
+
+ echo '[push] default = simple' >>~/.gitconfig
+
+ See Documentation/RelNotes/1.8.2.txt and the entry on push.default
+ in git-config(1) for details.

+git (1:1.8.0-1) experimental; urgency=low
+
+ Git's bash completion script is now loaded on the fly when tab
+ completion is attempted for the 'git' or 'gitk' command. This
+ change involved moving the completion script. If your ~/.bashrc
+ previously contained
+
+ . /etc/bash_completion.d/git
+
+ then it should be corrected to
+
+ if [ -e /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git ]; then
+ . /usr/share/bash-completion/completions/git
+ elif [ -e /etc/bash_completion.d/git ]; then
+ . /etc/bash_completion.d/git
+ fi
+
+ or, better,
+
+ . /etc/bash_completion
+
+ See /usr/share/doc/bash-completion/README.Debian for details.
