244 New tools for a "git-push-to-upload" workflow [Ian Jackson & Sean Whitton]:
245 * New script in a new binary package: git-debpush.
246 The new binary package is small, but
247 + git-debpush needs to be in src:dgit, because its test suite is the
248 dgit test suite; however,
249 + git-debpush is functionally and conceptually independent of dgit,
250 so should not go into bin:dgit; in particular
251 + git-debpush's dependencies are quite different to the other
253 * New dgit-infrastructure subcommand, tag2upload, to process tags made
255 Please see git-debpush(1) for a sketch of the workflow.
258 * Allow the -p option to be used with various push modes.
259 * Include dgit tag metadata in maintainer view tags.
260 For consistency with, and use by, git-debpush.
261 * Include quilt metadata in the archive/ (dgit view) tag.
262 * rpush protocol: Version 6, which includes split brain information
263 for maintainer view tags. And, actually use newer version
264 (was broken in 9.0, which would prefer to select 4 not 5).
265 * Add some missing blank lines to tag messages.
266 * Some other refactoring.
269 * dgit(1): fix a reference in the description of --quilt=auto [Sean
273 * Do not translate tag subject lines, because these are parsed by
277 * Test cases for new tools for "git-push-to-upload" workflow.
278 * drs-git-ext: honour DGIT_DRS_MODE.
279 * Provide a stunt sendmail and a stunt dgit.

288 dgit (9.0) unstable; urgency=medium
290 dgit - low-impact incompatible change:
291 * Drop support for, and testing of, dgit versions which use old tag name
292 (debian/V; now that is maintainer view and dgit is archive/debian/V).
293 The new tags came in in dgit 2.0 in October 2016. No version of dgit
294 without them was in any Debian release. We don't expect there are any
295 sites using old servers which do not support the new format, or anyone
296 using a dgit client older than 2.x who cannot upgrade.
298 git-debrebase fixes [Niko Tyni]:
299 * Fix `git-debrebase convert-from-dgit-view <upstream>', which
300 would crash due to an argument parser bug. Closes:#930214.
301 * git-debrebase(1): typo fix. Closes:#930215.
303 dgit - new capabilities:
304 * Support split view with native packages, and with all quilt modes.
305 Now we distinguish "split view" (meaning separate dgit branch) from
306 "splitting quilt modes" (eg --quilt-unapplied).
307 [Prompted in part by enquiries from Sam Hartman] Closes:#926640.
308 * Support for bare debian/ directory (aka packaging-only) git branches
309 Ie, --quilt=baredebian[+tarball]. [Thanks for info from Shengjing
310 Zhu, and docs and UI contributions/review from Sean Whitton.]
311 Closes:#903392. Closes:#931253.
314 * Fix --dgit-view-save option alias, which never worked.
315 (--save-dgit-view worked, and still does, though.)
316 * i18n: Do not translate import commit messages.
318 dgit - other documentation improvements [Sean Whitton]:
319 * Expand on description of --include-dirty. New text may help
320 user avoid unexpected file deletion. Closes:#930922.
321 * dgit-maint-*(7): Suggest --name-status --diff-filter. Closes:#930956.
322 * dgit-maint-*(7): Using untagged upstream commits. Closes:#930964.
324 dgit - minor consequences of these other changes:
325 * Actually properly reject invalid quilt modes found in git config.
326 (Previously they might be accepted and then cause malfunctions.)
327 * Reject split brain quilt modes with single-debian-patch.
328 (Previously this would malfunction; now we reject it.)
329 * i18n: Add translator notes about ASCII art changes display.
330 * Drop "dgit view: changes are required..." message.
331 * Some other minor changes to quilt fixup error handling.
332 * Changes to debugging output related to quilt modes and split view.
333 * Introduce rpush protocol version 5. Minimum version is now 4.
334 * Considerable internal rearrangement of quilt fixup code.
335 * Considerable test suite work including new tests.
338 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Test taint removal. Closes:#929249.

382 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
383 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
384 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
385 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
386 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
387 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
388 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
389 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
390 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
391 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
392 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
394 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
395 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
396 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
397 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
398 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
399 * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
400 * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
401 there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.

458 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
459 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
460 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
461 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
462 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
463 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
464 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
465 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
466 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
467 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
468 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
470 dgit - Improved behaviours:
471 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
472 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
473 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
474 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
475 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
477 dgit - Important bugfixes:
478 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
479 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
480 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
481 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
482 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
483 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
484 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
485 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
487 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
488 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.

491 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
492 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.

495 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
496 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
497 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
498 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
499 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
502 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
503 is therefore not done.
504 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
505 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
506 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.

1045 * When checking that the tree is clean, check the git index too.
1046 * In quilt_fixup_multipatch, work around git checkout paths
1047 not deleting files. (Hypothetical bug AFAIAA.)
1048 * Respect --quilt=nofix even if single-debian-patch.
1051 * "confess" when we die due to a warning, rather than symply dieing.
1054 * Move $playground global to dgit.
1055 * Break git_get_symref and $extra_orig_namepart_re out into Dgit.pm.
1056 * Changes to support git-debrebase.

1084 * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
1086 New features [Sean Whitton]:
1087 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
1088 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
1089 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
1090 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
1091 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
1092 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
1094 Documentation improvements:
1095 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.

1104 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
1105 specially. Closes:#886442.
1106 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
1107 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
1108 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
1109 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
1110 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
1111 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
1114 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
1115 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
1118 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
1119 won't try to run it).
1120 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
1121 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
1122 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
1123 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

1141 Important improvements to dgit:

1144 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
1145 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
1146 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
1147 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
1149 Other improvements to dgit:
1150 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
1151 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
1152 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
1155 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
1156 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
1157 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
1158 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
1161 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
1164 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
1165 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
1168 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
1169 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
1170 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
1171 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
1173 * Other tests for new features.

1585 are needed to the package, user may indeed just debsign and dput.

1588 on a patch during .dsc import. Apropos of #848391.

1635 * Cope when an orig tarball is a tarbomb. Ie, if it contains
1636 other than one single directory toplevel. Closes:#843422.
1637 * Actually honour the branch name, if we are on dgit branch, to specify
1638 the suite, as documented in the manpage.

1640 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.

1657 * New import-dsc feature.
1658 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
1659 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
1660 is left somewhere useful.
1661 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.

1667 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1669 Documentation improvements:

1683 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1684 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.

1800 dgit (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
1802 Incompatible change:
1803 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1804 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1805 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1806 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1807 to change for the dgit user.
1808 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1809 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1812 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1813 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1816 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1817 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1818 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1819 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1820 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1821 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1822 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1824 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1825 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1827 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1828 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1829 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1830 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1831 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1832 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1833 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1834 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1835 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1836 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1837 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1838 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1839 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1840 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1841 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1842 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1843 from dgit about what it was doing.
1844 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1846 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1847 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1849 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1850 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1851 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.

1858 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1859 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1860 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1864 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1865 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1866 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1867 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1868 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1871 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1872 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1873 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1874 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1875 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1876 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1877 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1878 messages. Closes:#800078.
1879 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1880 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.

1882 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.

1887 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1888 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1889 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1890 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1891 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1892 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1893 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1894 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1895 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1896 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1897 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1898 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1901 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1902 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1903 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1904 Cosmetic change only.
1905 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1906 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1907 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1908 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1909 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1910 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1911 to rollback and release the lock.
1912 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1913 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1914 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1915 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1917 * Provide better log output for certain failures.

2093 * Switch to new production git repositories for reading.

2098 * Provide -wc aka --clean=check.
2101 * Remove some obsolete caveats from BUGS.
2102 * Reorganise and complete the configuration section.
2103 * Remove obselete comment about DMs not being able to push.
2104 We have, for now, a way to add keys manually. Closes:#720173.
2107 * Remove configuration relating to alioth.
2108 * Provide for different access mechanisms when pushing.
2109 * Provide for configurable git url suffix.
2110 * Allow git-url to be '' to force fallback to git-proto etc.
2111 * Provide for checking git presence via http[s].
2112 * Do some quoting on debug output (needed if the server might not
2113 be trustworthy and might send us bad stuff).
2114 * Talk to push.dgit.debian.org, rather than the .debian.net alias.
2117 * Provide for mirroring git updates to a different server.
2118 * Provide cgit-regen-config command for cgi-grnet-01.
2119 * Make dgit-ssh-dispatch not spew (harmless) warnings if caller
2120 tries for a shell session (ie SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND not set).

2130 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
2132 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
2134 * Client uses new infrastructure:
2135 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
2136 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
2138 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
2141 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
2142 packages. Closes:#764606.
2143 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
2144 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
2145 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
2146 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
2148 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
2150 Other significant improvements:
2152 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
2153 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
2155 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
2156 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
2157 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
2159 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
2160 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
2162 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
2164 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
2165 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
2166 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
2168 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
2172 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
2173 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
2174 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
2175 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
2180 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
2181 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
2182 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
2183 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
2184 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
2185 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
2187 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
2188 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
2190 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
2192 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
2193 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
2194 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
2195 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
2197 Documentation improvements:
2199 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
2200 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
2201 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
2202 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
2203 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
2204 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
2205 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
2207 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
2209 Behind-the-scenes work:
2211 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
2212 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
2213 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
2214 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
2215 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
2216 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
2217 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
2218 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
2219 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
2220 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
2222 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
2223 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

2231 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

2242 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
2243 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
2244 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
2246 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
2247 re-retreive the .dsc.
2248 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
2249 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
2250 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
2251 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
2252 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
2253 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
2256 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
2257 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
2258 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
2260 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
2261 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
2262 message instead. Closes:#736526.
2263 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
2264 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
2265 host. Closes:#736529.
2266 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
2267 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
2268 regression test scripts to use.
2269 * Print better message for unknown operations.
2270 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
2271 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
2272 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
2274 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
2275 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
2276 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
2277 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
2278 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
2279 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
2280 * Fixed a manpage typo.
2281 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
2282 dgit rather than system one.
2283 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
2285 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
2286 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
2287 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
2288 used by default for any distro.
2289 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
2290 the push of the suite branch ref.
2291 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
2292 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

2298 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
2299 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
2300 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
2301 with all the building methods.
2302 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
2303 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
2305 Error message improvements:
2306 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
2307 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
2308 in the error message, to be its child.
2309 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
2311 Better workflow flexibility:
2312 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
2313 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
2315 Support for Debian backports suites:
2316 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
2317 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
2318 * Use correct default archive location.
2319 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
2322 Packaging improvement:
2323 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
2324 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
2325 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

2367 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
2369 Improved behaviours:
2370 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
2371 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
2372 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
2373 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2374 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2375 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
2376 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
2377 Distribution field as the suite.
2378 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
2381 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
2382 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
2385 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
2386 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2387 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
2388 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
2390 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
2391 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
2392 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
2394 Documentation and message fixes:
2395 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
2396 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
2397 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
2398 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
2399 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
2400 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
2403 Internal and debugging improvements:

2462 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2463 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2464 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2465 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2466 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2468 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2469 --dry-run often not work at all.

2472 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.

2494 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2496 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2497 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2498 exactly to the top git commit.
2499 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2500 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2501 and can also have more skew.)
2502 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2503 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2504 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2505 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2506 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2507 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2508 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2509 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2510 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2511 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

2576 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
