133 * No longer crash if .git/logs does not exist when we need it.
134 * Report the upstream tag, rather than commit id, in tags/commits,
135 if the user explicitly specifies refs/tags/...
137 tag-to-upload, git-debpush [Sean Whitton]:
138 * Several new checks designed to prevent broken uploads.
139 - Including: Check that upstream tag is ancestor of branch to be tagged.

163 dgit (9.1) unstable; urgency=medium
165 New tools for a "git-push-to-upload" workflow [Ian Jackson & Sean Whitton]:
166 * New script in a new binary package: git-debpush.
167 The new binary package is small, but
168 + git-debpush needs to be in src:dgit, because its test suite is the
169 dgit test suite; however,
170 + git-debpush is functionally and conceptually independent of dgit,
171 so should not go into bin:dgit; in particular
172 + git-debpush's dependencies are quite different to the other
174 * New dgit-infrastructure subcommand, tag2upload, to process tags made
176 Please see git-debpush(1) for a sketch of the workflow.
179 * Allow the -p option to be used with various push modes.
180 * Include dgit tag metadata in maintainer view tags.
181 For consistency with, and use by, git-debpush.
182 * Include quilt metadata in the archive/ (dgit view) tag.
183 * rpush protocol: Version 6, which includes split brain information
184 for maintainer view tags. And, actually use newer version
185 (was broken in 9.0, which would prefer to select 4 not 5).
186 * Add some missing blank lines to tag messages.
187 * Some other refactoring.
190 * dgit(1): fix a reference in the description of --quilt=auto [Sean
194 * Do not translate tag subject lines, because these are parsed by
198 * Test cases for new tools for "git-push-to-upload" workflow.
199 * drs-git-ext: honour DGIT_DRS_MODE.
200 * Provide a stunt sendmail and a stunt dgit.
201 * Unset CDPATH in case caller has it set.
202 * Some other refactoring.
205 * Update d/copyright years to include 2019 [Sean Whitton].

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

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

377 dgit (8.0) unstable; urgency=medium
379 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
380 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
381 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
382 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
383 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
384 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
385 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
386 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
387 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
388 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
389 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
391 dgit - Improved behaviours:
392 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
393 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
394 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
395 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
396 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
398 dgit - Important bugfixes:
399 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
400 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
401 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
402 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
403 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
404 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
405 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
406 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
408 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
409 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
410 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
411 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
412 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
413 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
414 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
416 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
417 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
418 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
419 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
420 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
423 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
424 is therefore not done.
425 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
426 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
427 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.
428 * dgit(1): Fix spelling errors.
429 * dgit(7): Fix spelling errors.
430 * dgit-sponsorship(7): Fix spelling error.
432 Consequential changes:
433 * Internal refactoring to support all these changes.
434 * Tests adjusted to correspond to, and somewhat test, these changes.
435 * Slight reorganisation to documentation of --clean=dpkg-source etc.
438 * Makefile: Provide i18n-commit target.
439 * po/list-documents: Set translation threshold to 10%.

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

720 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
721 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
724 dgit behavioural changes:
725 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
726 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
727 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
728 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
729 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
730 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
731 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old
732 name supported as a deprecated alias).
734 Test suite improvements:

738 * Support tests/run-all --progressive.
739 * Drop now-obsolete *-asplit tests.

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

1062 Important improvements to dgit:
1063 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
1064 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
1065 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
1066 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
1067 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
1068 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
1070 Other improvements to dgit:
1071 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
1072 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
1073 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
1076 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
1077 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
1078 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
1079 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
1082 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
1085 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
1086 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
1089 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
1090 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
1091 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
1092 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
1094 * Other tests for new features.

1584 timestamp-dependent FTBFS bugs (eg #842452).

1588 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1590 Documentation improvements:

1594 * dgit(1): Better cross-references.
1595 * dgit(1): Remove obsolete workflow information.
1596 * dgit(1): Improved BUGS section.
1597 * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
1601 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
1602 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
1604 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1605 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
1607 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
1608 like testing. Closes:#842621.
1609 * Properly fetch all archive dgit view tags, as we intended.
1610 * Actually provide a -p (--package=) option (!)
1613 * Test suite: Explicitly configure user.name and user.email, so
1614 that tests work when environment doesn't have defaults.

1723 Incompatible change:
1724 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1725 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1726 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1727 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1728 to change for the dgit user.
1729 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1730 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1733 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1734 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1737 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1738 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1739 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1740 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1741 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1742 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1743 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1745 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1746 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1748 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1749 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1750 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1751 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1752 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1753 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1754 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1755 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1756 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1757 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1758 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1759 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1760 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1761 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1762 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1763 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1764 from dgit about what it was doing.
1765 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1767 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1768 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1770 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1771 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1772 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1776 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1777 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1779 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1780 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1781 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1785 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1786 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1787 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1788 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1789 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1792 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1793 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1794 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1795 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1796 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1797 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1798 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1799 messages. Closes:#800078.
1800 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1801 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1802 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1803 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1804 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1805 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1807 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1808 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1809 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1810 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1811 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1812 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1813 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1814 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1815 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1816 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1817 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1818 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1819 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1822 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1823 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1824 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1825 Cosmetic change only.
1826 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1827 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1828 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1829 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1830 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1831 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1832 to rollback and release the lock.
1833 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1834 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1835 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1836 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1838 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1839 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1840 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
1841 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.

2053 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
2055 * Client uses new infrastructure:
2056 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
2057 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
2059 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is

2065 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
2066 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary

2074 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
2076 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
2077 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
2078 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.

2087 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
2089 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
2093 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
2094 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
2095 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
2096 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
2101 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
2102 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
2103 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
2104 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
2105 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
2106 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
2108 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
2109 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
2111 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
2113 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
2114 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
2115 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
2116 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
2118 Documentation improvements:
2120 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
2121 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
2122 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
2123 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
2124 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
2125 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
2126 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
2128 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
2130 Behind-the-scenes work:
2132 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
2133 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
2134 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
2135 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
2136 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
2137 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
2138 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
2139 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
2140 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
2141 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
2143 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
2144 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

2163 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
2164 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
2165 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
2167 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
2168 re-retreive the .dsc.
2169 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
2170 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
2171 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
2172 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
2173 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
2174 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
2177 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
2178 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
2179 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
2181 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
2182 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
2183 message instead. Closes:#736526.
2184 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
2185 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
2186 host. Closes:#736529.
2187 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
2188 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
2189 regression test scripts to use.
2190 * Print better message for unknown operations.
2191 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
2192 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
2193 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
2195 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
2196 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
2197 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
2198 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
2199 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
2200 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
2201 * Fixed a manpage typo.
2202 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
2203 dgit rather than system one.
2204 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
2206 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
2207 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
2208 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
2209 used by default for any distro.
2210 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
2211 the push of the suite branch ref.
2212 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
2213 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

2219 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
2220 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
2221 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
2222 with all the building methods.
2223 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
2224 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
2226 Error message improvements:
2227 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
2228 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
2229 in the error message, to be its child.
2230 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
2232 Better workflow flexibility:
2233 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
2234 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
2236 Support for Debian backports suites:
2237 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
2238 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
2239 * Use correct default archive location.
2240 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
2243 Packaging improvement:
2244 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
2245 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
2246 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

2288 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
2290 Improved behaviours:
2291 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
2292 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
2293 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
2294 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2295 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2296 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
2297 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
2298 Distribution field as the suite.
2299 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
2302 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
2303 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
2306 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
2307 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2308 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
2309 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
2311 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
2312 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
2313 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
2315 Documentation and message fixes:
2316 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
2317 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
2318 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
2319 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
2320 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
2321 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
2324 Internal and debugging improvements:

2380 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.

2382 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
2383 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2384 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2385 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2386 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2387 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2389 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2390 --dry-run often not work at all.
2391 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2393 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
2394 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
2395 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

2412 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
2413 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
2415 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2417 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2418 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2419 exactly to the top git commit.
2420 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2421 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2422 and can also have more skew.)
2423 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2424 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2425 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2426 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2427 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2428 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2429 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2430 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2431 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2432 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
