5 what is version control system
7 use it to review code, maintain diffs from upstream, do merges, etc.
9 but also publication tool
13 for development by maintainers
15 lots of people using lots of different vcs
16 many (?) most contributors using git somehow
22 yes, it's a vcs, but it's terrible
24 what was missing: a unified publication system for git histories which
25 contain the same things as the archive
31 3 why x-vcs-git is not sufficient
33 tree you get might be arbitrarily strange
36 - maintainer's "special stuff"
38 SO dgit /is/ in some sense a replacement for debcheckout
40 compared to debcheckout
41 - always gives you the version that is in the archive
42 - always gives you the same kind of tree, rather than giving
43 you the maintainer's git tree (might be strange)
59 all NMUers/sponsors/etc. who like git
