9 dgit and git-debrebase bugfixes:
10 * No longer crash if .git/logs does not exist when we need it.
11 * Report the upstream tag, rather than commit id, in tags/commits,
12 if the user explicitly specifies refs/tags/...
14 tag-to-upload, git-debpush [Sean Whitton]:
15 * Several new checks designed to prevent broken uploads.
16 - Including: Check that upstream tag is ancestor of branch to be tagged.
18 * Cope with spaces in user-supplied upstream tag.
20 tag-to-upload, server side:
21 * Fix non-default quilt modes. These were all previously broken.
22 * Arrange to report the upstream tag in dgit-generated commits/tags.
24 dgit archive query improvements [Matthew Vernon]:

42 New tools for a "git-push-to-upload" workflow [Ian Jackson & Sean Whitton]:
43 * New script in a new binary package: git-debpush.
44 The new binary package is small, but
45 + git-debpush needs to be in src:dgit, because its test suite is the
46 dgit test suite; however,
47 + git-debpush is functionally and conceptually independent of dgit,
48 so should not go into bin:dgit; in particular
49 + git-debpush's dependencies are quite different to the other
51 * New dgit-infrastructure subcommand, tag2upload, to process tags made
53 Please see git-debpush(1) for a sketch of the workflow.
56 * Allow the -p option to be used with various push modes.
57 * Include dgit tag metadata in maintainer view tags.
58 For consistency with, and use by, git-debpush.
59 * Include quilt metadata in the archive/ (dgit view) tag.
60 * rpush protocol: Version 6, which includes split brain information
61 for maintainer view tags. And, actually use newer version
62 (was broken in 9.0, which would prefer to select 4 not 5).
63 * Add some missing blank lines to tag messages.
64 * Some other refactoring.
67 * dgit(1): fix a reference in the description of --quilt=auto [Sean
71 * Do not translate tag subject lines, because these are parsed by
75 * Test cases for new tools for "git-push-to-upload" workflow.
76 * drs-git-ext: honour DGIT_DRS_MODE.
77 * Provide a stunt sendmail and a stunt dgit.
78 * Unset CDPATH in case caller has it set.
79 * Some other refactoring.
82 * Update d/copyright years to include 2019 [Sean Whitton].

86 dgit (9.0) unstable; urgency=medium
88 dgit - low-impact incompatible change:
89 * Drop support for, and testing of, dgit versions which use old tag name
90 (debian/V; now that is maintainer view and dgit is archive/debian/V).
91 The new tags came in in dgit 2.0 in October 2016. No version of dgit
92 without them was in any Debian release. We don't expect there are any
93 sites using old servers which do not support the new format, or anyone
94 using a dgit client older than 2.x who cannot upgrade.
96 git-debrebase fixes [Niko Tyni]:
97 * Fix `git-debrebase convert-from-dgit-view <upstream>', which
98 would crash due to an argument parser bug. Closes:#930214.
99 * git-debrebase(1): typo fix. Closes:#930215.
101 dgit - new capabilities:
102 * Support split view with native packages, and with all quilt modes.
103 Now we distinguish "split view" (meaning separate dgit branch) from
104 "splitting quilt modes" (eg --quilt-unapplied).
105 [Prompted in part by enquiries from Sam Hartman] Closes:#926640.
106 * Support for bare debian/ directory (aka packaging-only) git branches
107 Ie, --quilt=baredebian[+tarball]. [Thanks for info from Shengjing
108 Zhu, and docs and UI contributions/review from Sean Whitton.]
109 Closes:#903392. Closes:#931253.
112 * Fix --dgit-view-save option alias, which never worked.
113 (--save-dgit-view worked, and still does, though.)
114 * i18n: Do not translate import commit messages.
116 dgit - other documentation improvements [Sean Whitton]:
117 * Expand on description of --include-dirty. New text may help
118 user avoid unexpected file deletion. Closes:#930922.
119 * dgit-maint-*(7): Suggest --name-status --diff-filter. Closes:#930956.
120 * dgit-maint-*(7): Using untagged upstream commits. Closes:#930964.
122 dgit - minor consequences of these other changes:
123 * Actually properly reject invalid quilt modes found in git config.
124 (Previously they might be accepted and then cause malfunctions.)
125 * Reject split brain quilt modes with single-debian-patch.
126 (Previously this would malfunction; now we reject it.)
127 * i18n: Add translator notes about ASCII art changes display.
128 * Drop "dgit view: changes are required..." message.
129 * Some other minor changes to quilt fixup error handling.
130 * Changes to debugging output related to quilt modes and split view.
131 * Introduce rpush protocol version 5. Minimum version is now 4.
132 * Considerable internal rearrangement of quilt fixup code.
133 * Considerable test suite work including new tests.
136 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Test taint removal. Closes:#929249.

180 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
181 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
182 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
183 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
184 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
185 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
186 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
187 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
188 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
189 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
190 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
192 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
193 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
194 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
195 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
196 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
197 * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
198 * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
199 there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.
200 * Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).
202 i18n - new translations [Frans Spiesschaert]:
203 * nl, dgit-user(7). Closes:#918253.
204 * nl, messages. Closes:#917148.
207 * dgit(1): Fix documentation of .quilt-mode config.
208 * dgit(1): Fix a formatting typo (spurious .TP). Closes:#917194.
209 * dgit-user(7): Fix formatting error in comment about multi-arch.
210 * dgit-maint-debrebase(7): handle DFSG-filtering for a new package.
211 [Sean Whitton] Closes:#915973.
213 Error message improvements:
214 * dgit: When reporting no such package, say `source package'.
215 * dgit: Fix reference to -wdn/-wddn in a message.
216 * dgit: cleaning: Minorly improved handling of note about ignores.
217 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Remove duplicated text from force
218 report message. Closes:#913676.

254 dgit (8.0) unstable; urgency=medium
256 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
257 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
258 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
259 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
260 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
261 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
262 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
263 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
264 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
265 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
266 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
268 dgit - Improved behaviours:
269 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
270 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
271 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
272 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
273 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
275 dgit - Important bugfixes:
276 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
277 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
278 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
279 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
280 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
281 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
282 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
283 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
285 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
286 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
287 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
288 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
289 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
290 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
291 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
293 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
294 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
295 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
296 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
297 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
300 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
301 is therefore not done.
302 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
303 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
304 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.
305 * dgit(1): Fix spelling errors.
306 * dgit(7): Fix spelling errors.
307 * dgit-sponsorship(7): Fix spelling error.
309 Consequential changes:
310 * Internal refactoring to support all these changes.
311 * Tests adjusted to correspond to, and somewhat test, these changes.
312 * Slight reorganisation to documentation of --clean=dpkg-source etc.
315 * Makefile: Provide i18n-commit target.
316 * po/list-documents: Set translation threshold to 10%.

597 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
598 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
601 dgit behavioural changes:
602 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
603 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
604 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
605 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
606 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
607 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
608 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old

884 New features [Sean Whitton]:
885 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
886 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
887 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
888 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
889 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
890 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.

945 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
947 Other improvements to dgit:
948 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
949 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
950 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
953 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
954 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
955 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints

968 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.

1598 dgit (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
1600 Incompatible change:
1601 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1602 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1603 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1604 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1605 to change for the dgit user.
1606 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1607 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1610 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1611 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1614 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1615 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1616 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1617 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1618 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1619 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1620 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1622 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1623 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1625 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1626 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1627 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1628 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1629 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1630 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1631 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1632 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1633 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1634 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1635 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1636 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1637 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1638 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1639 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1640 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1641 from dgit about what it was doing.
1642 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1644 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1645 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1647 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1648 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1649 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1653 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1654 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1656 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1657 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1658 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1662 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1663 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1664 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1665 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1666 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1669 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1670 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1671 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1672 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1673 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1674 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1675 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1676 messages. Closes:#800078.
1677 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1678 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1679 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1680 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1681 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1682 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1684 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1685 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1686 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1687 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1688 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1689 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1690 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1691 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1692 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1693 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1694 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1695 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1696 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1699 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1700 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1701 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1702 Cosmetic change only.
1703 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1704 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1705 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1706 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1707 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1708 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1709 to rollback and release the lock.
1710 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1711 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1712 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1713 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1715 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1716 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1717 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
1718 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
1719 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
1721 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

1731 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).

1733 so as to avoid being broken by any .gitignore, etc.

1742 New checks and improved behaviours:

1744 or debian/source/local-patch-header.
1745 * In --dry-run mode, _do_ actually run dpkg-source --commit so that we
1746 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
1747 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
1748 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
1751 * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
1752 removed by rules clean.
1755 * Run quilt-fixup with -wgf in distropatches-reject,
1756 so that we don't need build-depends.

1930 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1932 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1933 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1934 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1936 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1939 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1940 packages. Closes:#764606.
1941 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1942 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1943 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1944 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1946 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1948 Other significant improvements:
1950 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1951 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1953 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1954 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1955 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1957 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1958 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1960 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1962 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1963 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1964 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1966 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1970 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1971 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1972 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1973 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1978 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1979 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1980 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1981 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1982 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1983 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1985 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1986 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1988 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1990 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1991 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1992 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1993 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1995 Documentation improvements:
1997 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).

2007 Behind-the-scenes work:
2009 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.

2012 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
2013 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
2014 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).

2075 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).

2077 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
2078 * Fixed a manpage typo.

2083 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
2084 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
2085 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
2086 used by default for any distro.
2087 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
2088 the push of the suite branch ref.
2089 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
2090 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

2096 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
2097 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
2098 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
2099 with all the building methods.
2100 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
2101 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
2103 Error message improvements:
2104 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
2105 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
2106 in the error message, to be its child.
2107 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
2109 Better workflow flexibility:
2110 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
2111 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
2113 Support for Debian backports suites:
2114 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
2115 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
2116 * Use correct default archive location.
2117 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
2120 Packaging improvement:
2121 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
2122 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
2123 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

2151 * Subcommand program or argument options containing hyphens work.
2152 (Eg, --dpkg-buildpackage:blah was previously incorrectly rejected.)
2156 * Depend on curl | wget, as dget needs one of those. (The dput package,
2157 which contains dget, doesn't require them because dput itself works

2162 dgit (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
2165 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
2167 Improved behaviours:
2168 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
2169 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
2170 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
2171 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2172 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2173 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
2174 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
2175 Distribution field as the suite.
2176 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
2179 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
2180 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
2183 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
2184 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2185 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
2186 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
2188 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
2189 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
2190 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
2192 Documentation and message fixes:
2193 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
2194 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
2195 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
2196 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
2197 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
2198 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
2201 Internal and debugging improvements:
2202 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
2203 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
2204 * Some code motion and cleanups.

2219 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.
2220 This avoids breaking when git makes packed refs. Closes:728893.
2221 * Clarify error message for missing refs/remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>.

2227 * Format `(3.0) quilt' fixup does not mind extraneous other files
2228 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
2229 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
2230 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
2231 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

2235 dgit (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
2237 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
2238 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
2239 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
2240 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
2241 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

2247 * Include package name in tag message.
2248 * Create directory .git/dgit when needed during build. Closes: #721428.
2249 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
2250 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
2251 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

2255 dgit (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
2257 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
2258 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
2259 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
2260 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2261 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2262 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2263 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2264 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2266 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2267 --dry-run often not work at all.
2268 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2270 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
2271 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
2272 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

2281 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.
2282 * New --no-quilt-fixup option to suppress quilt fixup. RTFM.
2283 * Add Closes line for #720595 to changelog entry for 0.11.

2287 dgit (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
2289 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
2290 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
2292 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2294 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2295 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2296 exactly to the top git commit.
2297 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2298 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2299 and can also have more skew.)
2300 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2301 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2302 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2303 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2304 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2305 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2306 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2307 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2308 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2309 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

2325 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
2326 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
2327 the remote suite branch.
2328 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
2329 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

2340 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

2349 * Manpage formatting fix.
2350 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>

2373 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
2374 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
2375 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
2376 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.
