All this seems fair. As Miklos pointed and when it comes at Debian,
using a recent Pootle version needs to install either a backported
package or a package from Debian lenny (which is what we do on
i18n.debian.net). So, having to install a backported git is not that a
big deal.

In short, if supporting git versions prior to 1.5 was possible, it
would be good. If that's complicated and involve losing valuable
developer time, it's not worth it.

Actually, people building Pootle production servers with Debian should
indeed use Etch plus Pootle from testing and git from www.backports.org
