+ Protocol change:
+ * Dgit: field now records the nominal distro name, and a hint
+ for a tag and url where the git objects (including any rewrite
+ map) can be fetched.
+ * Use this information, where provided. Closes:#850431.
+
+ Bugfixes:
+ * dgit config handling: Honour command-line and context-provided
+ suite and distro more reliably and consistently.
+
+ Minor new feature:
+ * distro alias facility in config space. (Primarily for testing.)
+
+ dgit-badcommit-fixup:
+ * Do not investigate symrefs. Closes:#850547.
+
+ * Improve debugging output a bit.
+
+ Test suite:
+ * Internal improvements.
+ * badcommit-rewrite: Fix operation using installed version of fixup.
+ * Arrange to pass --debug-quick-random to gpg-agent.
+ * Strip block count out of find -ls output - it is unstable!
+ * gbp-orig: Add a missing -m, without which git would run an
+ editor if stdout was a tty (!)
+ * Add t-stunt-parsechangelog to a few tests which were missing it.
+ * Tests for the new protocol feature.

+ Dealing with fallout from #849041:
+ * Provide dgit-badcommit-fixup history-rewriting script.
+ * New rewrite map feature, which allows dgit git server to adjust
+ clients' interpretation of Dgit fields, so that history-rewriting is
+ effective. (Feature is only partially implemented right now -
+ enough to dig current Debian users out of the hole.) Re:#850431.
+
+ Test suite:
+ * New test case for history-rewriting.
+ * Change `local foo=$(bar)' idiom to `local foo; foo=$(bar)' since
+ the former does not trip set -e even if bar fails :-(.

+
+ Changed behaviour:
+ * quilt fixup: Permit creation of patches which delete files, by psssing
+ --include-removal to dpkg-source, and tolerating it when we do our
+ quilt fixup analysis. dpkg-source has supported this since at least

+ In particular, do not fail utterly if dpkg-source and gbp disagree.
