git: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 This package provides the git main components with minimal dependencies.
 Additional functionality, e.g. a graphical user interface and revision
 tree visualizer, tools for interoperating with other VCS's, or a web
 interface, is provided as separate git* packages.

git-all: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (all subpackages)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 This is a dummy package which brings in all subpackages.

git-cvs: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (cvs interoperability)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 This package provides the git cvsimport, cvsexportcommit, and cvsserver
 tools, which allow Git to read from and write to CVS repositories and
 offer access over CVS protocol to Git repositories.
 .
 The git cvsimport tool can incrementally import from a repository that
 is being actively developed and only requires remote access over CVS
 protocol. Unfortunately, in many situations the import leads to
 incorrect results. For reliable, one-shot imports, cvs2git from the
 cvs2svn package or parsecvs may be a better fit.

git-daemon-run: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (git-daemon service)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 git-daemon, as provided by the git package, is a simple server for git
 repositories, ideally suited for read-only updates, i.e. pulling from git
 repositories through the network. This package provides a runit service
 for running git-daemon permanently. This configuration is simpler and
 more reliable than git-daemon-sysvinit, at a cost of being less
 familiar for administrators accustomed to sysvinit.

git-daemon-sysvinit: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (git-daemon service)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 git-daemon, as provided by the git package, is a simple server for git
 repositories, ideally suited for read-only updates, i.e. pulling from git
 repositories through the network. This package provides a sysvinit service
 for running git-daemon permanently. Unlike git-daemon-run, this
 package provides the usual sysvinit service management commands
 ("service git-daemon start/stop") for git-daemon.

git-dbgsym: debug symbols for git
git-doc: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (documentation)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 This package provides the documentation.

git-el: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (emacs support)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 This transitional package provides two modules that previously could be
 used for integration with Emacs: git.el and git-blame.el. Now the
 modules print an error message with instructions that users can use to
 migrate to Emacs's VC-mode backend for Git or Magit.

git-email: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (email add-on)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .
 Git falls in the category of distributed source code management tools.
 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 This package provides the git-send-email program for sending series of
 patch emails.

git-gui: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (GUI)

 Git is popular version control system designed to handle very large
 projects with speed and efficiency; it is used for many high profile
 open source projects, most notably the Linux kernel.
 .

 Every Git working directory is a full-fledged repository with full
 revision tracking capabilities, not dependent on network access or a
 central server.
 .
 This package provides the git graphical user interface.
 .
 If aspell is installed, it can check the spelling of commit messages
 as the user types.
 .
 If meld is installed, it can be used for displaying diffs and for
 interactive merge conflict resolution.

git-man: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (manual pages)

 central server.
 .
 This package provides the mediawiki remote helper, which allows Git to
 read from and write to a wiki such as Wikipedia as though it were a
 remote Git repository, and a 'git mw' command that can show a preview
 of how wiki markup will be rendered before pushing.

git-svn: fast, scalable, distributed revision control system (svn interoperability)
