Bug Description

Binary package hint: git

git-gui provided with ubuntu is still linked with tcl/tk 8.4 but this version does not have antialiasing and the interface does have very ugly police by default. In addition it's one of the rare application using this peculiar version so. On Opensuse git-gui is linked with the 8.5 version so it's possible to do it and it seems that it's not a technical problem.
Thanks.

This bug was fixed in the package git - 1:1.7.8.3-1

---------------
git (1:1.7.8.3-1) unstable; urgency=medium

  * new upstream point release.
  * debian/git.preinst: on upgrade from git <= 1:1.7.7-1, replace
    /usr/lib/git-core/git with a copy of itself. This prevents "are the
    same file" errors when replacing hard links to the old copy with
    symlinks using "mv" (thx Jon Dowland and Anders Kaseorg; closes:
    #654596).
