I've created a bug (wishlist) report for it to be added to Debian's git= -extras=20 package: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=3D734527 But so far (7 Jan 2014) no reply. I guess the best solution to deal wi= th it,=20 would be to move it from Gnulib to git/contrib. But that would require= the=20 Gnulib and git maintainers to work together and agree on the issue. (Since it is licensed GPL2+, there should at least be no license issue.= ) Regards, R=C3=BCdiger
