  the git content manager.
  .
  This package provides a web interface for browsing git repositories.
+
+Package: git-core-dev
+Architecture: all
+Depends: git-core (= ${Source-Version})
+Recommends: git-doc
+Description: content addressable filesystem (web interface)
+ This is a stupid (but extremely fast) directory content manager.  It
+ doesn't do a whole lot, but what it 'does' do is track directory
+ contents efficiently.
+ .
+ Amongst other projects, the Linux kernel source tree is managed through
+ the git content manager.
+ .
+ This package provides a shared library to interface programs with git.
