MGA5-32 on Acer D620 Xfce
No installation issues, does not seem to break anything, but I have not been able to dream something up that uses this package 
# urpmq --whatrequires python-gitpython
gitbuster
openerp-git
python-gfbi_core
python-gitpython
w3af

openerp and gitbuster are way over my head and w3af crashes on me.

FYI: using https://bitbucket.org/spaetz/gitanaly that in turn uses gitpython.

Sorry this is way over my head, I won't start a study on git.
