151 New tools for a "git-push-to-upload" workflow [Ian Jackson & Sean Whitton]:
152 * New script in a new binary package: git-debpush.
153 The new binary package is small, but
154 + git-debpush needs to be in src:dgit, because its test suite is the
155 dgit test suite; however,
156 + git-debpush is functionally and conceptually independent of dgit,
157 so should not go into bin:dgit; in particular
158 + git-debpush's dependencies are quite different to the other
160 * New dgit-infrastructure subcommand, tag2upload, to process tags made
162 Please see git-debpush(1) for a sketch of the workflow.
165 * Allow the -p option to be used with various push modes.
166 * Include dgit tag metadata in maintainer view tags.
167 For consistency with, and use by, git-debpush.
168 * Include quilt metadata in the archive/ (dgit view) tag.
169 * rpush protocol: Version 6, which includes split brain information
170 for maintainer view tags. And, actually use newer version
171 (was broken in 9.0, which would prefer to select 4 not 5).
172 * Add some missing blank lines to tag messages.
173 * Some other refactoring.
176 * dgit(1): fix a reference in the description of --quilt=auto [Sean
180 * Do not translate tag subject lines, because these are parsed by
184 * Test cases for new tools for "git-push-to-upload" workflow.
185 * drs-git-ext: honour DGIT_DRS_MODE.
186 * Provide a stunt sendmail and a stunt dgit.
187 * Unset CDPATH in case caller has it set.
188 * Some other refactoring.
191 * Update d/copyright years to include 2019 [Sean Whitton].

195 dgit (9.0) unstable; urgency=medium
197 dgit - low-impact incompatible change:
198 * Drop support for, and testing of, dgit versions which use old tag name
199 (debian/V; now that is maintainer view and dgit is archive/debian/V).
200 The new tags came in in dgit 2.0 in October 2016. No version of dgit
201 without them was in any Debian release. We don't expect there are any
202 sites using old servers which do not support the new format, or anyone
203 using a dgit client older than 2.x who cannot upgrade.
205 git-debrebase fixes [Niko Tyni]:
206 * Fix `git-debrebase convert-from-dgit-view <upstream>', which
207 would crash due to an argument parser bug. Closes:#930214.
208 * git-debrebase(1): typo fix. Closes:#930215.
210 dgit - new capabilities:
211 * Support split view with native packages, and with all quilt modes.
212 Now we distinguish "split view" (meaning separate dgit branch) from
213 "splitting quilt modes" (eg --quilt-unapplied).
214 [Prompted in part by enquiries from Sam Hartman] Closes:#926640.
215 * Support for bare debian/ directory (aka packaging-only) git branches
216 Ie, --quilt=baredebian[+tarball]. [Thanks for info from Shengjing
217 Zhu, and docs and UI contributions/review from Sean Whitton.]
218 Closes:#903392. Closes:#931253.
221 * Fix --dgit-view-save option alias, which never worked.
222 (--save-dgit-view worked, and still does, though.)
223 * i18n: Do not translate import commit messages.
225 dgit - other documentation improvements [Sean Whitton]:
226 * Expand on description of --include-dirty. New text may help
227 user avoid unexpected file deletion. Closes:#930922.
228 * dgit-maint-*(7): Suggest --name-status --diff-filter. Closes:#930956.
229 * dgit-maint-*(7): Using untagged upstream commits. Closes:#930964.
231 dgit - minor consequences of these other changes:
232 * Actually properly reject invalid quilt modes found in git config.
233 (Previously they might be accepted and then cause malfunctions.)
234 * Reject split brain quilt modes with single-debian-patch.
235 (Previously this would malfunction; now we reject it.)
236 * i18n: Add translator notes about ASCII art changes display.
237 * Drop "dgit view: changes are required..." message.
238 * Some other minor changes to quilt fixup error handling.
239 * Changes to debugging output related to quilt modes and split view.
240 * Introduce rpush protocol version 5. Minimum version is now 4.
241 * Considerable internal rearrangement of quilt fixup code.
242 * Considerable test suite work including new tests.
245 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Test taint removal. Closes:#929249.

289 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
290 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
291 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
292 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
293 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
294 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
295 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
296 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
297 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
298 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
299 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
301 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
302 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
303 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
304 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
305 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
306 * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
307 * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
308 there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.
309 * Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).
311 i18n - new translations [Frans Spiesschaert]:
312 * nl, dgit-user(7). Closes:#918253.
313 * nl, messages. Closes:#917148.
316 * dgit(1): Fix documentation of .quilt-mode config.
317 * dgit(1): Fix a formatting typo (spurious .TP). Closes:#917194.
318 * dgit-user(7): Fix formatting error in comment about multi-arch.
319 * dgit-maint-debrebase(7): handle DFSG-filtering for a new package.
320 [Sean Whitton] Closes:#915973.
322 Error message improvements:
323 * dgit: When reporting no such package, say `source package'.
324 * dgit: Fix reference to -wdn/-wddn in a message.
325 * dgit: cleaning: Minorly improved handling of note about ignores.
326 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Remove duplicated text from force
327 report message. Closes:#913676.

365 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
366 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
367 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
368 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
369 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
370 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
371 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
372 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
373 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
374 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
375 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
377 dgit - Improved behaviours:
378 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
379 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
380 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
381 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
382 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
384 dgit - Important bugfixes:
385 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
386 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
387 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
388 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
389 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
390 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
391 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
392 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
394 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
395 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
396 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
397 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
398 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
399 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
400 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
402 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
403 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
404 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
405 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
406 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
409 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
410 is therefore not done.
411 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
412 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
413 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.
414 * dgit(1): Fix spelling errors.

567 * Speed: improve laundry performance by a factor of ~55:1,
568 and analysis performance by factor of ~4.2:1. Closes:#905995.
569 * prepush: this is now a silent no-op if the branch is
570 unstitched. This is more friendly.
571 * convert-from-*: Snag on patches in d/patches which are not in series,
572 because they will be deleted. Closes:#904997.

706 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
707 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
710 dgit behavioural changes:
711 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
712 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
713 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
714 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
715 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
716 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
717 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old
718 name supported as a deprecated alias).
720 Test suite improvements:
721 * test suite: unset VISUAL, which interferes. Closes:#904308.

724 * Support tests/run-all --progressive.
725 * Drop now-obsolete *-asplit tests.

729 unconditionally print hint about noatime. Closes:#851873.

1046 dgit (4.1) experimental; urgency=medium
1048 Important improvements to dgit:
1049 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
1050 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
1051 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
1052 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
1053 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
1054 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
1056 Other improvements to dgit:
1057 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
1058 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
1059 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
1062 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
1063 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
1064 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
1065 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
1068 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
1071 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
1072 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
1075 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
1076 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
1077 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
1078 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
1080 * Other tests for new features.
1081 * Various refactoring.

1107 email address (but still insist on date, and hence on the actual
1108 committer and author commit header fields). Peter Green reports that
1109 eg 66c65d90db100435 in upstream linux.git is such a commit (and is
1110 accepted by github). Closes:#863353.
1113 * t-report-fail: print $PWD as part of failure message.
1114 * import-dsc: Test missing files, particularly in ..

1282 * dgit: Set default dsc import distro when there is no Dgit field.
1283 * dgit: Set default dsc import distro when suppressing Dgit field.
1284 * dgit: Option parsing: Fix undefined $suite in some import-dsc.

1352 map) can be fetched.
1353 * Use this information, where provided. Closes:#850431.
1356 * dgit config handling: Honour command-line and context-provided
1357 suite and distro more reliably and consistently.
1358 * Parsing of extended Dgit fields by import-dsc was broken;
1359 and is now fixed even for more-extended ones.
1360 * dgit clone-dgit-repos-server uses readonly access.
1362 * fetch and pull ignore the changelog suite when it is UNRELEASED.
1364 * dgit-badcommit-fixup: Do not investigate symrefs. Closes:#850547.
1367 * distro alias facility in config space. (Primarily for testing.)
1368 * Undocumented --config-lookup-explode= feature. (For testing.)
1369 * Provide `dgit print-dgit-repos-server-source-url'. Re:#850521.
1370 * Honour dgit-distro.*.default-suite and dgit.default.default-suite.
1373 * Improve debugging output a bit.
1374 * Use refs/dgit-fetch/DISTRO rather than refs/dgit-fetch/SUITE,
1375 which leads to less duplication and so less clutter.
1376 * Enforce a reasonable syntax for nominal distro names.
1377 * When generating orig+debian/patches view, copy debian/ from
1378 HEAD. This makes less noise in diffs. Closes:#850095.

1383 * dgit(7): Updated `trouble' section to suggest having dpkg-source
1384 delete the autotools output (with a patch if necessary).
1385 * dgit(1): Several minor updates and fixes. Closes:#850519.
1388 * Internal improvements.
1389 * badcommit-rewrite: Fix operation using installed version of fixup.
1390 * Arrange to pass --debug-quick-random to gpg-agent.
1391 * Strip block count out of find -ls output - it is unstable!
1392 * gbp-orig: Add a missing -m, without which git would run an
1393 editor if stdout was a tty (!)
1394 * Add t-stunt-parsechangelog to a few tests which were missing it.
1395 * Tests for the new protocol feature.

1416 Dealing with fallout from #849041:

1419 clients' interpretation of Dgit fields, so that history-rewriting is
1420 effective. (Feature is only partially implemented right now -
1421 enough to dig current Debian users out of the hole.) Re:#850431.
1424 * New test case for history-rewriting.
1425 * Change `local foo=$(bar)' idiom to `local foo; foo=$(bar)' since
1426 the former does not trip set -e even if bar fails :-(.

1542 * Cope when an orig tarball is a tarbomb. Ie, if it contains
1543 other than one single directory toplevel. Closes:#843422.
1544 * Actually honour the branch name, if we are on dgit branch, to specify
1545 the suite, as documented in the manpage.
1546 * When cloning a distro which has no git server, correctly leave
1547 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.
1548 * Fix an unconditional print that was supposed to be a printdebug:
1549 origs <blah>.orig.tar.gz f.same=1 #f._differ=-1
1550 * Print a slightly better message if .git found in orig tarball(s).

1574 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1576 Documentation improvements:

1664 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1665 but not be refreshed even by a build.

1709 Incompatible change:
1710 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1711 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1712 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1713 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1714 to change for the dgit user.
1715 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1716 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1719 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1720 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1723 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1724 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1725 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1726 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1727 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1728 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1729 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1731 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1732 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1734 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1735 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1736 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1737 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1738 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1739 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1740 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1741 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1742 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1743 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1744 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1745 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1746 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1747 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1748 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1749 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1750 from dgit about what it was doing.
1751 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1753 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1754 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1756 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1757 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1758 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1762 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1763 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1765 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1766 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1767 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1771 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1772 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1773 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1774 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1775 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1778 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1779 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1780 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1781 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1782 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1783 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1784 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1785 messages. Closes:#800078.
1786 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1787 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1788 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1789 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1790 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1791 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1793 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1794 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1795 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1796 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1797 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1798 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1799 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1800 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1801 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1802 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1803 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1804 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1805 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1808 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1809 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1810 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1811 Cosmetic change only.
1812 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1813 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1814 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1815 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1816 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1817 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1818 to rollback and release the lock.
1819 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1820 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1821 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1822 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1824 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1825 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1826 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
1827 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
1828 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
1830 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

1840 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).

1855 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
1856 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
1857 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.

1861 removed by rules clean.

2039 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
2041 * Client uses new infrastructure:
2042 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
2043 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
2045 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
2048 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
2049 packages. Closes:#764606.
2050 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
2051 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
2052 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
2053 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
2055 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
2057 Other significant improvements:
2059 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
2060 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
2062 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
2063 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
2064 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
2066 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
2067 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
2069 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
2071 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
2072 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
2073 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
2075 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
2079 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
2080 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
2081 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
2082 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
2087 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
2088 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
2089 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
2090 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
2091 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
2092 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
2094 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
2095 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
2097 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
2099 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
2100 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
2101 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
2102 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
2104 Documentation improvements:
2106 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
2107 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
2108 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
2109 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
2110 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
2111 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
2112 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
2114 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
2116 Behind-the-scenes work:
2118 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
2119 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
2120 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
2121 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
2122 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
2123 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
2124 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
2125 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
2126 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
2127 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
2129 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
2130 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

2136 * Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
2137 Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
2138 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

2147 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
2149 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
2150 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
2151 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
2153 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
2154 re-retreive the .dsc.
2155 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
2156 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
2157 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
2158 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
2159 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
2160 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
2163 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
2164 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
2165 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
2167 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
2168 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
2169 message instead. Closes:#736526.
2170 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
2171 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
2172 host. Closes:#736529.
2173 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
2174 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
2175 regression test scripts to use.
2176 * Print better message for unknown operations.
2177 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
2178 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
2179 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
2181 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
2182 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
2183 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
2184 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
2185 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
2186 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
2187 * Fixed a manpage typo.
2188 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
2189 dgit rather than system one.
2190 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
2192 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
2193 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
2194 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
2195 used by default for any distro.
2196 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
2197 the push of the suite branch ref.
2198 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
2199 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

2205 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
2206 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
2207 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
2208 with all the building methods.
2209 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
2210 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
2212 Error message improvements:
2213 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
2214 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
2215 in the error message, to be its child.
2216 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
2218 Better workflow flexibility:
2219 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
2220 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
2222 Support for Debian backports suites:
2223 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
2224 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
2225 * Use correct default archive location.
2226 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
2229 Packaging improvement:
2230 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
2231 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
2232 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

2274 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
2276 Improved behaviours:
2277 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
2278 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
2279 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
2280 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2281 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2282 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
2283 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
2284 Distribution field as the suite.
2285 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
2288 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
2289 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
2292 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
2293 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2294 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
2295 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
2297 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
2298 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
2299 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
2301 Documentation and message fixes:
2302 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
2303 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
2304 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
2305 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
2306 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
2307 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
2310 Internal and debugging improvements:

2348 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.

2366 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
2367 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
2368 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
2369 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2370 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2371 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2372 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2373 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2375 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2376 --dry-run often not work at all.
2377 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2379 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
2380 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
2381 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

2398 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
2399 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
2401 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2403 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2404 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2405 exactly to the top git commit.
2406 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2407 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2408 and can also have more skew.)
2409 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2410 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2411 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2412 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2413 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2414 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2415 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2416 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2417 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2418 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

2435 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
