The above previous version worked fine with any $EDITOR and $PAGER (e.g. with more and vi from stock busybox), so maybe these dependencies are superfluous.

I'm pretty sure that stock busybox doesn't have $EDITOR and $PAGER defined (prove me wrong).

I will check that some day.

------
One issue with package: git-gui
deb-package seems to be be good, but installing it doesn't give working binaries but symlinks pointing to itself.
I don't know how and why it happens, and I have no idea how to fix it.

This is a workaround to get them working:
Code:
root
#install git-gui
apt-get install git-gui
#unpack package manually
cd ~
mkdir temp
cd temp
ar x /var/cache/apt/archives/git-gui_1%3a1.7.9.5-1-maemo2_all.deb
tar -xf data.tar.gz

#remove non-working symlinks
rm /opt/git/git-core/git-gui
rm /opt/git/git-core/git-citool 
rm /opt/git/git-core/git-gui--askpass

#copy working files on place
cp opt/git/git-core/*  /opt/git/git-core/

#remove temporary files
cd ..
rm -rf temp
