Package: gitolite
Version: 2.3-1
Severity: important
Tags: upstream patch

gl-compile-conf breaks with git 1.9-rc0 and newer ("***** AAARGH! *****
your git version is older than 1.6.6").  Luckily Debian package
dependencies mean we don't need a version check at all, so how about
this patch?

Suggested by sitaramc[1].
