Never mind. Looked at the apt.log, which was filled with garbage, and
realized it was some old packages that were the same version as the
Ubuntu ones only with "git[some other stuff]" as the version. Tracked
them all down in Synaptic and forced the official versions (a
"downgrade").
Ran d-release-upgrade and now it's working.
It really shouldn't be this hard. I think an average user shouldn't have
to deal with this, but I guess an average user wouldn't be using xorg
PPAs in the first place, so.... whatever.
The good news is that it's working.

Title:
Can't upgrade from 13.04
Status in “ubuntu-release-upgrader” package in Ubuntu:
Invalid
Bug description:
I've been trying for months and always get the same error that may be
caused by using a pre-release or unapproved packages. This is a VERY
old install (started at 8.04) so things are a little crazy, but I
don't even know how to troubleshoot this issue...
