Backport of git 1.6 to etch

Since I can't upload git 1.6 from experimental to backports.org (because that is only for packages available in testing), I've made a backport to etch available at people.debian.org.

If you have any issues with that that don't affect the version in experimental, feel free to drop me a mail.

Warning / APT repository
Be warned that using these packages means no upgrade path to lenny for git-*, unless we do push 1.6 into lenny. But if you are using etch-backports now, you'll probably use lenny-backports then. So read on... If you prefer to use APT for this, you can simply add deb http://debian.madduck.net/repo etch-backports main to your /etc/apt/sources.list or sources.list.d and upgrade as usual; if you have pinned git-core to etch-backports, it'll now pull the packages from my site.

Re: Warning / APT repository
Dear Martin, I don't see any difference in your repository and the one from Frank with respect to upgrade path to lenny. You are using exactly the same version as Frank does in his repository, so it escapes me how your repository should be any different or better for anyone to use, besides that you are (intentionally?) (ab)using the backports.org namespace for your repository.
