Subject: dgit-user(7): Suggest "3.0 (native)" rather than bodging 1.0 native
X-Git-Tag: archive/debian/2.9~2
X-Git-Url: http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/ucgi/~ianmdlvl/git?a=commitdiff_plain;h=a45f75bad000ac3230dace4291cda2e167d8102d;p=dgit.git

dgit-user(7): Suggest "3.0 (native)" rather than bodging 1.0 native

This is better than --dpkg-source:-sn because it produces a git tree
which doesn't need weird options, and doesn't delete the user's .orig
(which might still be useful eg for some dgit fetch).
