Sean has mostly been managing the backports of dgit. I think backports of both git and dgit would be good things. However, we have just released a major new feature and there are inevitble bugs in it. My current wip branch[1] has fixes for that but also fixes for other bugs, some of which may themselves cause further bugs. What kind of timescale are you thinking about here ? If you are willing to wait a couple of weeks, I think sid/testing's dgit will have settled down. Ian.
