Gitea requires GIT version 1.8.2 or later, so in order to upgrade from
Gogs to Gitea we need a newer version of GIT installed.

Last time I tried this it left some dirty packages around, now ticketting
it to handle it in a better way (compile on the machine ?)

Comment (by martin):

I tried to rebuild the corresponding GIT packages from Debian7 on Debian6
(which is on TracSVN), but after the n-th element in the dependency chain
I hit a circular dependency between two different Python module packages
(python-testtools requires python-fixtures and vice-versa). That's where I
stopped.

Therefore I'd suggest to try out if it's possible to lower the
requirements.

I might try to install packages directly from Debian7 (requires upgrading
the libc6 ecosystem beforehand), but that won't happen this weekend.

I've uploaded a version of gitea that accepts GIT 1.7.0
See https://github.com/go-gitea/git/pull/90
The /etc/init.d/gitea currently links there.
I'm closing this as wontfix

Reopened as it looks like a couple of functions still need newer git:

We don't need this anymore as Gitea-1.3+ supports git back to 1.7.2
