commit 7e3c61c30602c5d5f68361d0e43a1254c4ae5e44
Author: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>
Date:   Mon Feb 23 00:13:57 2026 +0000

    Depend on git, not git-core
    
    git used to be called git-core.  Then in 2011 it was renamed; then git-core
    was a transitional package.  The transitional package was removed in 2017.
    Since then it's just been a Provides.

    history on Salsa.  The Vcs-Git is on repo.or.cz which is blocked for me
    due to the Online Safety Act.)

commit 38aaa5e83378a60c2384ad4b5467132b3a009978
Author: Ian Jackson <ijackson@chiark.greenend.org.uk>

    dgit: capture dpkg-parsechangelog stderr when checking for overwrite
    
    This will allow us to not always print the output.  Right now it is always
    printed on error, and not otherwise.

testing migrations

excuses:
- Migration status for dgit (14.8 to 14.9): Waiting for test results or another package, or too young (no action required now - check later)

- ∙ ∙ Too young, only 1 of 2 days old
- Additional info (not blocking):
- ∙ ∙ Piuparts tested OK - https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/source/d/dgit.html
- ∙ ∙ Autopkgtest for dgit/14.9: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Pass
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on amd64
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on arm64
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on armhf
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on i386
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on ppc64el
- ∙ ∙ Required age reduced by 3 days because of autopkgtest
- Not considered
