78 git-debrebase, bugfixes:
79 * make-patches: Do not bail if there aren't any.

85 * Speed: improve laundry performance by a factor of ~55:1,
86 and analysis performance by factor of ~4.2:1. Closes:#905995.
87 * prepush: this is now a silent no-op if the branch is
88 unstitched. This is more friendly.
89 * convert-from-*: Snag on patches in d/patches which are not in series,
90 because they will be deleted. Closes:#904997.
91 * Highly experimental merge resolution support, enabled only with
92 special command line option.

224 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
225 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
228 dgit behavioural changes:
229 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
230 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
231 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
232 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
233 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
234 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
235 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old
236 name supported as a deprecated alias).

242 * Support tests/run-all --progressive.
243 * Drop now-obsolete *-asplit tests.

326 - The tests now pass (most of the time, at least) in
327 current Debian unstable, whereas 5.5's fail utterly.
328 - There is still occasional lossage. So when running tests

511 New features [Sean Whitton]:
512 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
513 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
514 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source

519 Documentation improvements:

522 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.
523 * dgit-maint-merge(7): many updates. [Sean Whitton]
524 Closes:#864873,#878433.
525 * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
526 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
529 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
530 specially. Closes:#886442.
531 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
532 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
533 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
534 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
535 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
536 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
539 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
540 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
543 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
544 won't try to run it).
545 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
546 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
547 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).

566 Important improvements to dgit:
567 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
568 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
569 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
570 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
571 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
572 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
574 Other improvements to dgit:
575 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
576 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
577 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
580 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
581 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
582 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
583 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
586 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
589 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
590 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
593 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
594 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
595 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
596 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
598 * Other tests for new features.
599 * Various refactoring.

1081 so user never needs [--ch:]-sa or [--ch:]-sd. Closes:#829116.
1082 * New import-dsc feature.
1083 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
1084 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
1085 is left somewhere useful.
1086 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.
1087 This makes it less likely that the user will trip over any
1088 timestamp-dependent FTBFS bugs (eg #842452).
1089 * Support dgit --delayed= push (with a warning in the manpage
1090 about possible skew).

1092 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1094 Documentation improvements:
1095 * dgit-*(7). Many new tutorial manpages, several written and many
1096 improved by Sean Whitton.
1097 * dgit(7): Substantial updates, including documenting split view.
1098 * dgit(1): Better cross-references.
1099 * dgit(1): Remove obsolete workflow information.
1100 * dgit(1): Improved BUGS section.
1101 * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
1105 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
1106 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
1108 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1109 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
1111 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
1112 like testing. Closes:#842621.
1113 * Properly fetch all archive dgit view tags, as we intended.
1114 * Actually provide a -p (--package=) option (!)
1117 * Test suite: Explicitly configure user.name and user.email, so
1118 that tests work when environment doesn't have defaults.

1139 git-apply in terms of dpkg-source --before-build. Closes:#841867.

1182 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1183 but not be refreshed even by a build.
1184 * dgit gbp-build: No longer invent a --git-debian-branch option.
1185 Usually the user is a maintainer using split brain, and we should rely
1186 on their own gbp configuration to specify the right check.

1227 Incompatible change:
1228 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1229 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1230 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1231 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1232 to change for the dgit user.
1233 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1234 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1237 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1238 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1241 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1242 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1243 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1244 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1245 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1246 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1247 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1249 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1250 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1252 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1253 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1254 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1255 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1256 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1257 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1258 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1259 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1260 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1261 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1262 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1263 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1264 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1265 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1266 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1267 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1268 from dgit about what it was doing.
1269 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1271 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1272 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1274 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1275 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1276 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1280 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1281 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1283 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1284 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1285 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1289 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1290 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1291 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1292 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1293 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1296 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1297 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1298 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1299 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1300 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1301 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1302 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1303 messages. Closes:#800078.
1304 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1305 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1306 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1307 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1308 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1309 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1311 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1312 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1313 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1314 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1315 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1316 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1317 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1318 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1319 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1320 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1321 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1322 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1323 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1326 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1327 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1328 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1329 Cosmetic change only.
1330 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1331 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1332 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1333 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1334 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1335 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1336 to rollback and release the lock.
1337 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1338 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1339 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1340 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1342 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1343 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1344 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
1345 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
1346 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
1348 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

1358 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).

1374 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
1375 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.

1379 removed by rules clean.

1560 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1561 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1563 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is

1567 packages. Closes:#764606.

1569 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1570 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary

1581 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1582 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1584 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1585 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1587 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1589 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1590 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1591 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1593 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1597 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1598 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1599 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1600 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1605 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1606 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1607 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1608 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1609 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1610 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1612 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1613 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1615 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1617 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1618 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1619 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1620 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1622 Documentation improvements:
1624 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1625 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1626 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1627 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1628 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1629 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1630 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1632 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1634 Behind-the-scenes work:
1636 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1637 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1638 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1639 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1640 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1641 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1642 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1643 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1644 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1645 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1647 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1648 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1667 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1668 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1669 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1671 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1672 re-retreive the .dsc.
1673 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1674 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1675 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1676 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1677 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1678 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1681 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1682 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1683 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1685 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1686 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1687 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1688 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1689 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1690 host. Closes:#736529.
1691 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1692 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1693 regression test scripts to use.
1694 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1695 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1696 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1697 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1699 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1700 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1701 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1702 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1703 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1704 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1705 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1706 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1707 dgit rather than system one.
1708 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1710 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1711 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1712 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1713 used by default for any distro.
1714 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1715 the push of the suite branch ref.
1716 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1717 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1723 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1724 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1725 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1726 with all the building methods.
1727 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1728 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1730 Error message improvements:
1731 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1732 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1733 in the error message, to be its child.
1734 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1736 Better workflow flexibility:
1737 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1738 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1740 Support for Debian backports suites:
1741 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1742 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1743 * Use correct default archive location.
1744 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1747 Packaging improvement:
1748 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1749 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1750 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1792 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1794 Improved behaviours:
1795 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1796 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1797 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1798 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1799 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1800 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1801 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1802 Distribution field as the suite.
1803 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1806 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1807 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1810 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1811 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1812 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1813 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1815 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1816 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1817 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1819 Documentation and message fixes:
1820 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1821 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1822 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1823 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1824 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1825 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1828 Internal and debugging improvements:

1884 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.

1886 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1887 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1888 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1889 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1890 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1891 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1893 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1894 --dry-run often not work at all.
1895 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1897 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1898 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1899 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1916 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1917 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1919 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1921 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1922 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1923 exactly to the top git commit.
1924 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1925 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1926 and can also have more skew.)
1927 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1928 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1929 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1930 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1931 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1932 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1933 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1934 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1935 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1936 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
