+that <code>/usr/bin/git</code> will be maintained via alternatives.  Both <a
+href="http://packages.debian.org/git/">GNU Interactive Tools</a> and Linus
+Torvald's source code management system <a
+href="http://packages.debian.org/git-core">git</a> provide the same program
+name.  The GNU interactive tools have been renamed into <code>gitfm</code> to
+resolve this conflict and in etch will contain a wrapper that is able to
+execute the other program.</p>
