Bug#844658: stretch GIT broken

I got an off-list note from the reporter that
https://bugs.debian.org/844658 was due to an interaction with packages
From a non-debian repository that had been locally installed.  Once that
repo was removed, git worked fine, so i'm closing #844658.

To the reporter: please don't feel discouraged by reporting a bug that
turns out to not be a bug from debian's perspective.  In this case,
there was nothing for debian package maintainers to do, and you fixed
the problem yourself. In other cases, there can be something that the
maintainers can do to fix packages for everyone else using debian.

Bug reports are a significant and valuable contribution to the debian
project, even though some of them turn out to be "not debian's fault"
(and therefore unfixable from within debian).  Please keep on reporting
bugs you encounter, we need to know when things aren't working for
users!

Regards,
