Switching to git is a good news, the other day you were talking about
doing a release (for a packaging that was not using svn snapshot if I
remember well).
I'm thinking that a new release could also help the versioning of debian
packages, today it is: 0.2.904+svn920 where 0.2.904 is the release and
920 the svn snapshot revision.
If the release changes, this would allow to go for any valid numbering
for the git snapshots. But if it does not change I must find somthing
that will be grater than +svn920.
For instance ++git20120130 or +xgit20120130 but not +git20120130 
(as g < s).

In other words, a new release would help my motivation to switch to git
:)

P.S.: My via motherboard died, so if any debian user is reading this and
would like to learn, there is a package that needs help from you :)
