Right before uploading, if you did not just already do so, you might
want to have git-debrebase(1) shuffle your branch such that the Debian
delta queue appears right at the tip of the branch you will push:
After dgit pushing, be sure to git push to B<salsa.debian.org>, if
you're using that.
-=head1 INSPECTING THE HISTORY

-They can be adapted for other tools like tig, git log, etc.

=head1 HANDLING DFSG-NON-FREE MATERIAL
=head2 Illegal material
Our approach is to maintain a DFSG-clean upstream branch, and create
tags on this branch for each release that we want to import. We then
-import those tags per "Importing the release", above.
+import those tags per "Importing the release", above. In the case of
+a new package, we base our initial Debianisation on our first
+DFSG-clean tag.
For the first upstream release that requires DFSG filtering:
% git commit -m "upstream version 1.2.3 DFSG-cleaned"
% git tag -s 1.2.3+dfsg
% git checkout master
- % # proceed with "Importing the release" on 1.2.3+dfsg tag
=back
-And for subsequent releases (whether or not they require filtering):
+Now either proceed with "Importing the release" on the 1.2.3+dfsg tag,
+or in the case of a new package,

+ % git branch --unset-upstream
