[Bug 1729075] Re: Sync git 1:2.15.0-1 (main) from Debian unstable (main)

[Anders Kaseorg]

I believe the issue that caused the fork is that pcre3 is in main, while
the (newer*) pcre2 is only in universe.  Since git is in main, it’s only
allowed to depend on libraries in main.  The next thing that needs to
happen, then, is https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MainInclusionProcess for pcre2.

(* As you are aware, pcre3 is misnamed: it’s actually the original
version of pcre that preceded pcre2.)
