Description:

latexdiff is included in texlive-core since version 2021.58710 (see files /usr/bin/latexdiff in new texlive-core package). Hence, there is a conflict between the packages git-latexdiff and texlive-core >= 2021.58710.

Obviously, the issue is that git-latexdiff is included in texlive-core, not latexdiff...

I think there are three solutions, one is to directly mark these two packages conflict, the other is to remove latexdiff from git-latexdiff and let it depend on texlive-core, and the third is to remove latexdiff from texlive-core and let texlive-core depends on git-latexdiff.
I personally prefer the third option, it has several advantages, firstly compared to option 1 it can use both latex and git-latexdiff tools, and then compared to option 2 it saves git-latexdiff users from having to install huge texlive-core and texlive-bin, while texlive-core only needs to pay for one more symbolic link space.

I think this report can be closed. latexdiff is in texlive-binextra now and I do not see a git-latexdiff package anywhere.
