Right. It's been few months that Alioth is now made of 2 machines:
vasks.d.o and wagner.d.o. If you ssh to alioth or anonscm, you're in
fact on wagner, which has the Git repository mounted over NFS in a read
only mode. So what you experienced is "normal". Instead, ssh to vasks,
and you wont have such issue.

Thanks for that.

Ok, cool! That's a very good idea to keep tracks of things in a wiki
page like this.

BTW, I went to have a look into the phpunit package itself, and I've
been disappointed to see that it's using CDBS. Since the old maintainer
has expressed his will to stop maintaining it, and that we can take
over, and that Olivier Berger said he wouldn't have time for it, I think
it's fine if we switch to using pkg-php-tools (which means, get away
from CDBS and use dh instead). I will do that.

Also, I've seen that phpunit.git was using master and upstream as branch
names. I've renamed them to debian-sid / upstream-sid. Please clone the
repository again to make sure you have the correct branches.

I have also changed the ownership of #607393 to the PEAR list, and
retitled it, to reflect our intention to adopt the package.

If you want to continue the RFP, then you should retitle the bugs as
ITP, and set the ownership to the list. This would be done like this, to
a mail sent to control at bugs.debian.org (if you didn't know):

owner <bug-number> pkg-php-pear at lists.alioth.debian.org
retitle <bug-number> ITP: <package-name> -- <short-description>

Please do that ASAP.
