git-core-1.5.5.5-alt1

git-instaweb requires a webserver to be useful, so probably the package with git-instaweb should have a formal dependency on "webserver".

$ git-instaweb 
which: no lighttpd in (/home/imz/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/games:/usr/X11R6/bin)
lighttpd not found. Install lighttpd or use --httpd to specify another http daemon.

git-instaweb utility is packaged to git-core.  By suggesting this formal dependency you also suggest to package this small utility separately.
Do you really want to fix the issue this way?

В 4.1/branch исправления не будут вноситься уже технически (заглушена очередь на сборку), поэтому прошу ошибки, актуальные для sisyphus/p7/t7, перевесить на текущие ветки или сизиф.
