As described in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git/+bug/1729075, Ubuntu's git package is forked from Debian to work around https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/pcre2/+bug/1636666. The changes to be merged should be minimal.

Ping. 2.16.2 is now available as well.

Ping. As described in https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel/2017-December/040080.html, I'm happy to help with making git consumable by Ubuntu on the Debian side in any way I can. Is there anything I can do to help?

This was merged before the Ubuntu 18.04 release:
