16 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
17 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
18 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
19 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
20 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
21 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
22 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
23 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
24 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
25 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
26 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
28 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
29 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
30 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
31 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
32 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
33 * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
34 * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
35 there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.
36 * Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).

51 * dgit: Fix reference to -wdn/-wddn in a message.
52 * dgit: cleaning: Minorly improved handling of note about ignores.
53 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Remove duplicated text from force

92 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
93 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
94 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
95 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
96 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
97 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
98 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
99 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
100 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
101 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
102 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
104 dgit - Improved behaviours:
105 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
106 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
107 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
108 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
109 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
111 dgit - Important bugfixes:
112 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
113 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
114 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
115 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
116 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
117 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
118 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
119 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
121 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
122 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
123 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
124 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
125 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
126 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
127 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
129 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
130 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
131 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
132 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
133 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
136 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
137 is therefore not done.
138 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
139 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
140 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.
141 * dgit(1): Fix spelling errors.
142 * dgit(7): Fix spelling errors.
143 * dgit-sponsorship(7): Fix spelling error.
145 Consequential changes:
146 * Internal refactoring to support all these changes.
147 * Tests adjusted to correspond to, and somewhat test, these changes.
148 * Slight reorganisation to documentation of --clean=dpkg-source etc.
151 * Makefile: Provide i18n-commit target.
152 * po/list-documents: Set translation threshold to 10%.

531 dgit (5.6) unstable; urgency=medium
533 * Merge the experimental branch containing the fianl

535 - The tests now pass (most of the time, at least) in
536 current Debian unstable, whereas 5.5's fail utterly.
537 - There is still occasional lossage. So when running tests
538 in a loop (eg to test ever commit), it is still good to set
539 DGIT_TEST_RETRY_COUNT=3 (say).
541 * test suite: Test that manpages format with only expected warnings.

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

740 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
741 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
742 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
743 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
744 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
745 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]

783 Other improvements to dgit:
784 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
785 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
786 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
789 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
790 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
791 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints

798 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
799 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
802 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
803 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
804 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.

1060 * dgit: After downloading .debian.* files, save them in `..', too
1061 (ie do this not just for .origs).
1062 * dgit: When fetching, refetch files with hash mismatches (and save them
1063 as `...,fetch'), so we can distinguish them from any built locally.

1077 * Dgit: field now records the nominal distro name, and a hint
1078 for a tag and url where the git objects (including any rewrite
1079 map) can be fetched.
1080 * Use this information, where provided. Closes:#850431.
1083 * dgit config handling: Honour command-line and context-provided
1084 suite and distro more reliably and consistently.
1085 * Parsing of extended Dgit fields by import-dsc was broken;
1086 and is now fixed even for more-extended ones.
1087 * dgit clone-dgit-repos-server uses readonly access.
1089 * fetch and pull ignore the changelog suite when it is UNRELEASED.
1091 * dgit-badcommit-fixup: Do not investigate symrefs. Closes:#850547.
1094 * distro alias facility in config space. (Primarily for testing.)
1095 * Undocumented --config-lookup-explode= feature. (For testing.)
1096 * Provide `dgit print-dgit-repos-server-source-url'. Re:#850521.
1097 * Honour dgit-distro.*.default-suite and dgit.default.default-suite.
1100 * Improve debugging output a bit.
1101 * Use refs/dgit-fetch/DISTRO rather than refs/dgit-fetch/SUITE,
1102 which leads to less duplication and so less clutter.
1103 * Enforce a reasonable syntax for nominal distro names.
1104 * When generating orig+debian/patches view, copy debian/ from
1105 HEAD. This makes less noise in diffs. Closes:#850095.

1108 * dgit-sponsorship(7): Use --no-dep14tag. Closes:#849105.
1109 * dgit-maint-merge(7): Use debian/source/patch-header. Closes:849120.
1110 * dgit(7): Updated `trouble' section to suggest having dpkg-source
1111 delete the autotools output (with a patch if necessary).
1112 * dgit(1): Several minor updates and fixes. Closes:#850519.
1115 * Internal improvements.
1116 * badcommit-rewrite: Fix operation using installed version of fixup.
1117 * Arrange to pass --debug-quick-random to gpg-agent.
1118 * Strip block count out of find -ls output - it is unstable!
1119 * gbp-orig: Add a missing -m, without which git would run an
1120 editor if stdout was a tty (!)
1121 * Add t-stunt-parsechangelog to a few tests which were missing it.
1122 * Tests for the new protocol feature.
1123 * Fail tests if we look up any configuration relating to Debian.

1143 Dealing with fallout from #849041:
1144 * Provide dgit-badcommit-fixup history-rewriting script.
1145 * New rewrite map feature, which allows dgit git server to adjust
1146 clients' interpretation of Dgit fields, so that history-rewriting is
1147 effective. (Feature is only partially implemented right now -
1148 enough to dig current Debian users out of the hole.) Re:#850431.
1151 * New test case for history-rewriting.
1152 * Change `local foo=$(bar)' idiom to `local foo; foo=$(bar)' since
1153 the former does not trip set -e even if bar fails :-(.

1217 * Slightly better message when .dsc not found. Apropos of #844128.

1219 are needed to the package, user may indeed just debsign and dput.
1221 * Produce better error reporting when absurd git wrapper fails
1222 on a patch during .dsc import. Apropos of #848391.

1269 * Cope when an orig tarball is a tarbomb. Ie, if it contains
1270 other than one single directory toplevel. Closes:#843422.
1271 * Actually honour the branch name, if we are on dgit branch, to specify
1272 the suite, as documented in the manpage.
1273 * When cloning a distro which has no git server, correctly leave
1274 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.
1275 * Fix an unconditional print that was supposed to be a printdebug:
1276 origs <blah>.orig.tar.gz f.same=1 #f._differ=-1
1277 * Print a slightly better message if .git found in orig tarball(s).

1292 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
1293 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
1294 is left somewhere useful.
1295 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.

1301 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1303 Documentation improvements:

1307 * dgit(1): Better cross-references.
1308 * dgit(1): Remove obsolete workflow information.
1309 * dgit(1): Improved BUGS section.
1310 * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
1314 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
1315 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
1317 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1318 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.

1375 * dgit-maint-merge(7): New tutorial manpage from Sean Whitton.

1436 Incompatible change:
1437 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default

1439 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1440 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1441 to change for the dgit user.

1443 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1446 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1447 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1450 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:

1453 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1454 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1455 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1456 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1458 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1459 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1461 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1462 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1463 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1464 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1465 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1466 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1467 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1468 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1469 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1470 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1471 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1472 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1473 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1474 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1475 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1476 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1477 from dgit about what it was doing.
1478 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1480 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1481 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1483 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1484 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

1505 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1506 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1507 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1508 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1509 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1510 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.

1527 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1528 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1529 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1530 as is proper. Closes:#835858.

1532 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1535 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1536 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.

1544 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1545 to rollback and release the lock.

1548 different test case git working tree tarballs.

1569 so as to avoid being broken by any .gitignore, etc.
1570 * When quilt linearisation fails, print the right information in
1571 the error message. (This has been broken forever.)

1576 the user can override it. Closes:#796019.
1578 New checks and improved behaviours:

1580 or debian/source/local-patch-header.
1581 * In --dry-run mode, _do_ actually run dpkg-source --commit so that we
1582 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
1583 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
1584 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
1587 * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
1588 removed by rules clean.
1591 * Run quilt-fixup with -wgf in distropatches-reject,
1592 so that we don't need build-depends.

1766 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1768 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1769 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1770 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1772 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1775 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1776 packages. Closes:#764606.
1777 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1778 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1779 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1780 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1782 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1784 Other significant improvements:
1786 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1787 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1789 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1790 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1791 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1793 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1794 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1796 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1798 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1799 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1800 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1802 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1806 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1807 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1808 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1809 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1814 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1815 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1816 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1817 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1818 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1819 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1821 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1822 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1824 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1826 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1827 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1828 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1829 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1831 Documentation improvements:
1833 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1834 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1835 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1836 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1837 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1838 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1839 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1841 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1843 Behind-the-scenes work:
1845 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1846 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1847 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1848 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1849 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1850 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1851 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1852 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1853 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.

1896 message instead. Closes:#736526.

1899 host. Closes:#736529.

1902 regression test scripts to use.
1903 * Print better message for unknown operations.

1905 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1906 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1908 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1909 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1910 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1911 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1912 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1913 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1914 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1915 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1916 dgit rather than system one.
1917 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1919 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1920 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1921 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1922 used by default for any distro.
1923 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1924 the push of the suite branch ref.
1925 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1926 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1932 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:

1934 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1935 with all the building methods.
1936 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1937 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1939 Error message improvements:
1940 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1941 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1942 in the error message, to be its child.
1943 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1945 Better workflow flexibility:
1946 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1947 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1949 Support for Debian backports suites:
1950 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1951 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1952 * Use correct default archive location.
1953 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1956 Packaging improvement:
1957 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1958 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless

2020 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2021 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).

2073 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
2074 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
2075 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
2076 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
2077 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

2081 dgit (0.14) unstable; urgency=low
2083 * Include package name in tag message.
2084 * Create directory .git/dgit when needed during build. Closes: #721428.
2085 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
2086 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
2087 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

2091 dgit (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
2093 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
2094 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
2095 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
2096 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2097 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2098 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2099 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2100 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2102 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2103 --dry-run often not work at all.
2104 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2106 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
2107 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
2108 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

2113 dgit (0.12) unstable; urgency=low
2115 * Cope with packages with epoch. Closes: #720897.
2116 * Improve error message for non-fast-forward push. Closes: #720896.
2117 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.
2118 * New --no-quilt-fixup option to suppress quilt fixup. RTFM.
2119 * Add Closes line for #720595 to changelog entry for 0.11.

2123 dgit (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
2125 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
2126 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
2128 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2130 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2131 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2132 exactly to the top git commit.
2133 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2134 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2135 and can also have more skew.)
2136 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2137 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2138 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2139 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2140 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2141 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2142 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2143 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2144 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2145 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

2149 dgit (0.10) unstable; urgency=low
2151 * Create .pc/applied-patches - do not empty it (!)

2155 dgit (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
2157 * New cleaning arrangements.
2158 * More comprehensive workaround for `3.0 (quilt)'.
2159 * In push, double-check the .changes against the changelog.
2160 * Better error when source package contains .git. Closes: #720555.
2161 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
2162 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
2163 the remote suite branch.
2164 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
2165 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

2169 dgit (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
2171 * Fix comparison of archive's .dsc's hash and git branch head
2173 * When creating repos in dgit-repos (using the ssh-cmd method),
2174 copy _template rather than using mkdir and git init.
2176 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

2181 dgit (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
2183 * If dak ls, or rmadison, reports multiple versions, look for them
2184 all, and pick the newest .dsc that doesn't give 404.
2185 * Manpage formatting fix.
2186 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
2187 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

2198 dgit (0.5) unstable; urgency=low
2200 * Upload to unstable, as this version mostly works. (All the RC
2201 bugs of which I'm aware are now properly represented in the BTS.)

2205 dgit (0.4~pre2) experimental; urgency=low
2207 * Mangle debian/<version> tags the way git-buildpackage does
2208 (as of git-buildpackage 0.5.5, 3c6bbd0f4992f8da).
2209 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
2210 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
2211 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
2212 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.

2216 dgit (0.4~pre1) experimental; urgency=low
2218 * Use dgit.debian.net vhost on alioth. Closes:#720172.
2219 * Usage message. Closes:#720085.
2220 * Provide "dgit sbuild".
2221 * Assorted manpage fixes and improvements.
2222 * Fail if a required config item is missing.
2223 * Much better error messages.
2224 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
2225 * Better checking that the supplied .dsc and debian/changes correspond.
2226 * Ordering improvement in push: don't add dsc field until git push done.
2227 * New --distro option (helps with unknown suites).
