22 dgit (8.0) unstable; urgency=medium
24 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
25 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
26 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
27 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
28 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
29 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
30 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
31 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
32 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
33 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
34 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
36 dgit - Improved behaviours:
37 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
38 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
39 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
40 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
41 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
43 dgit - Important bugfixes:
44 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
45 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
46 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
47 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
48 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
49 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
50 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
51 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
53 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
54 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
55 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
56 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
57 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
58 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
59 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
61 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
62 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
63 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
64 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
65 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
68 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
69 is therefore not done.
70 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
71 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
72 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.
73 * dgit(1): Fix spelling errors.
74 * dgit(7): Fix spelling errors.
75 * dgit-sponsorship(7): Fix spelling error.
77 Consequential changes:
78 * Internal refactoring to support all these changes.
79 * Tests adjusted to correspond to, and somewhat test, these changes.
80 * Slight reorganisation to documentation of --clean=dpkg-source etc.
83 * Makefile: Provide i18n-commit target.
84 * po/list-documents: Set translation threshold to 10%.

521 * git-debrebase new-upstream: Provide better reflog entries
522 by setting GIT_REFLOG_ACTION. Closes:#901925.
525 * Better message formatting when --overwrite may be needed,
526 and a note about first dgit push in dgit(1). Closes:891031.

536 * When all Debian changes vanish with single-debian-patch,
537 do not fail to commit the patch queue removal. Closes:#877036.
538 * When build fails because the network is offline, mention
539 that this is because --since-version was not specified.
541 * When quilt fixup fails because of discrepancies, print a
542 git diff rune which will show them. Closes:#865446.
543 * When fetch or push wants git fetch (other than in a situation where it
544 happes to be a noop) but --dry-run was specified, fail with an
545 explanation, rather than looping with a false coplaint about git
546 fetch. Closes:#871317.
547 * --overwrite now no longer crashes if there is nothing to overwrite
548 (eg, when used with --new). Instead, it is simply ignored, as it is
549 ignored in situations where the push is fast forward. Closes:#863576.
551 dgit/git-debrebase interop bugfixes:
552 * git-debrebase interop: Add a missing debugcmd debugging print.
553 * git-debrebase interop: Actually tolerate git-debrebase make-patches
554 exiting with status 7.
556 dgit vcs-git handling improvements:
557 * Provide `update-vcs-git' subcommand, for creating and adjusting the
558 vcs-git remote url. Useful for transition from alioth to salsa.
560 * Print a warning to stderr on `dgit fetch sid', if your vcs-git
561 remote url disagrees with what's in sid's .dsc.
564 * dgit(1): Mention under `dgit build' that it uses the network.
565 * dgit(1): Clarify that --overwrite does nothing if not needed.
567 * dgit-user(7): Recommend sbuild-debian-developer-setup.
568 [ Sean Whitton. ] Closes:895779.
571 * Use nproc(1) rather than Sys::CPU. This is more portable and does not
572 depend on libsys-cpu-perl being installed. Closes:888496.

602 * dgit will now, when appropriate, check if it should call
605 [ Thanks to Sean Whitton for much useful input, and for
606 dgit-maint-debrebase(7). ]
609 * Fix the exit status of programs in dgit.deb, to avoid the Perl
610 misfeature which sometimes copies $! to the exit status.
611 * When checking that the tree is clean, check the git index too.
612 * In quilt_fixup_multipatch, work around git checkout paths
613 not deleting files. (Hypothetical bug AFAIAA.)
614 * Respect --quilt=nofix even if single-debian-patch.
617 * "confess" when we die due to a warning, rather than symply dieing.
620 * Move $playground global to dgit.
621 * Break git_get_symref and $extra_orig_namepart_re out into Dgit.pm.

648 dgit (4.2) unstable; urgency=low
650 * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
652 New features [Sean Whitton]:
653 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
654 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
655 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
656 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
657 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
658 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
660 Documentation improvements:
661 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.
662 * Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
663 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.
664 * dgit-maint-merge(7): many updates. [Sean Whitton]
665 Closes:#864873,#878433.
666 * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
667 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
670 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
671 specially. Closes:#886442.
672 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
673 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
674 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
675 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
676 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
677 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
680 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
681 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
684 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
685 won't try to run it).
686 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
687 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
688 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
689 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

707 Important improvements to dgit:
708 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
709 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
710 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
711 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
712 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
713 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
715 Other improvements to dgit:
716 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
717 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
718 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
721 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
722 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
723 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
724 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
727 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
730 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
731 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
734 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
735 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
736 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
737 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
739 * Other tests for new features.
740 * Various refactoring.

1075 Dealing with fallout from #849041:
1076 * Provide dgit-badcommit-fixup history-rewriting script.
1077 * New rewrite map feature, which allows dgit git server to adjust
1078 clients' interpretation of Dgit fields, so that history-rewriting is
1079 effective. (Feature is only partially implemented right now -
1080 enough to dig current Debian users out of the hole.) Re:#850431.
1083 * New test case for history-rewriting.
1084 * Change `local foo=$(bar)' idiom to `local foo; foo=$(bar)' since
1085 the former does not trip set -e even if bar fails :-(.

1206 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.

1208 origs <blah>.orig.tar.gz f.same=1 #f._differ=-1
1209 * Print a slightly better message if .git found in orig tarball(s).

1233 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1235 Documentation improvements:

1239 * dgit(1): Better cross-references.

1368 Incompatible change:

1371 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1372 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1373 to change for the dgit user.

1375 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.

1379 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1382 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:

1385 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1386 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1387 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1388 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1390 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1391 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1393 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1394 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1395 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1396 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1397 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1398 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1399 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1400 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1401 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1402 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1403 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1404 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1405 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1406 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1407 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1408 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1409 from dgit about what it was doing.
1410 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1412 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1413 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1415 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1416 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

1433 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)

1437 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1438 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1439 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1440 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1441 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1442 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.

1462 as is proper. Closes:#835858.

1464 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.

1468 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.

1470 Cosmetic change only.

1472 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1473 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1474 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.

1476 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1477 to rollback and release the lock.

1480 different test case git working tree tarballs.

1577 * When invoking git-buildpackage via dgit gbp-build, consider our
1578 command line arguments when massaging the dpkg-buildpackage arguments,
1579 so that we don't end up giving dpkg-buildpackage contradictory
1581 * Cope with new git-buildpackage which provides gbp, rather than the
1582 eponymous command, on PATH.
1585 * Honour dgit-distros.DISTRO.cmd-CMD and .opts-CMD. Closes:#793427.
1586 * Make configuration able to prevent dpkg-mergechangelogs setup.
1587 * Provide dgit setup-new-tree (like dpkg-setup-mergechangelogs
1588 but only does it if not disabled in config).
1589 * Set up git user.email and user.name from distro access config
1590 or DEBEMAIL/DEBFULLNAME. Closes:#793410.
1591 * When key to use not specified any other way, use the debian/changelog
1592 trailer line. Closes:#793423.
1593 * Honour --git= (mostly).
1596 * Fix some manpage typos. [ Richard Hartmann ]
1597 * Manpage said that --clean=check was -wn but that is --clean=none;
1598 correctly document that --clean=check is actually -wc.
1599 * Document that up to -DDDD (not just -DD) is meaningfully different.
1600 * Document that -cname=value applies only for this run.
1601 * Improve manpage comment about defining a new distro.
1602 * Document that --quilt=linear is the default for Debian.
1603 * Fix a formatting problem in --build-products-dir= doc.
1604 * In manpage, do not seem to imply that NMU should be of only one
1606 * Qualify to Debian the manpage comment about how to do NMU.
1607 * In discussion on how to start using dgit when already using git, do
1608 not imply/assume that existing git history will have identical trees
1610 * Remove stray sentence in config section of manpage.
1611 * Manpage: Clarify wording of readonly config.
1612 * Manpage: Better cross-references for -k and keyid.
1613 * dgit(7): No longer say that dgit-repos lives on Alioth.
1616 * Introduce more sophisticated protocol negotiation for rpush.
1617 * Do not quote `:' in shellquote.
1618 * Print a supplementary message when push fails, giving advice to
1619 the user about how to retry. Closes:#793144.
1620 * Slurp in entire git config, for better performance.
1621 * Rename `git-build' operation to `gbp-build' to make it clearer what
1622 it's for. Keep the old name as an alias.
1623 * Show `dgit sbuild' in usage message.
1624 * When we are using dpkg-buildpackage to clean before using it to also
1625 do the build, let it do its cleaning thing as part of its run, rather
1626 than running it twice. When we are _not_ supposed to be using
1627 dpkg-buildpackage to clean, but we are running it to do the build,
1628 pass -nc. Closes:#793060.
1629 * Also suppress spurious runs of the clean target when building using
1631 * When exec fails, always print the program name in the error message.
1634 * Infrastructure: Get mirroring right for fresh repos of existing
1637 Packaging, cleanups, debugging and test suite:
1638 * Fix Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browse to refer to chiark. (The dgit-repos on
1639 alioth aren't suitable right now because the master there can
1640 currently only be updated with an actual upload, ie dgit push.)
1641 * Make warnings fatal in dpkg-repos-admin-debian, dgit-ssh-dispatch
1642 (using setup_sigwarn).
1643 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Make warnings fatal (directly).
1644 * tstunt/dpkg-parsechangelog: Do not complain if PERLLIB is empty.
1645 * Test suite: Honour DGIT_TEST_DEBUG=''.
1646 * With -DDDD, print out all gitcfg references (copious!)
1647 * Fix a debug message in the obsolete sshpsql archive access driver.
1648 * Test suite: More automatic enumeration of tests.
1649 * Test suite: Provide tests which check that all our various build
1650 operations run the right targets as expected (ie, that we are massaging
1651 the arguments to dpkg-buildpackage, and suppressing our clean target,

1698 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1700 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1701 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1702 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1704 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1707 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1708 packages. Closes:#764606.
1709 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1710 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1711 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1712 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1714 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1716 Other significant improvements:
1718 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1719 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1721 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1722 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1723 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1725 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1726 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1728 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1730 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1731 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1732 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1734 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1738 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1739 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1740 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1741 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1746 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1747 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1748 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1749 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1750 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1751 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1753 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1754 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1756 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1758 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1759 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1760 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1761 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1763 Documentation improvements:
1765 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1766 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1767 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1768 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1769 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1770 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1771 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1773 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1775 Behind-the-scenes work:
1777 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1778 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1779 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1780 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1781 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1782 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1783 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1784 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1785 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1786 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1788 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1789 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1797 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

1808 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1809 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1810 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1812 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1813 re-retreive the .dsc.
1814 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1815 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1816 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1817 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1818 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1819 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1822 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1823 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1824 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1826 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1827 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1828 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1829 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1830 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1831 host. Closes:#736529.
1832 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1833 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1834 regression test scripts to use.
1835 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1836 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1837 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1838 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1840 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1841 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1842 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1843 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1844 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1845 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1846 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1847 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1848 dgit rather than system one.
1849 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1851 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1852 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1853 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1854 used by default for any distro.
1855 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1856 the push of the suite branch ref.
1857 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1858 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1864 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1865 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1866 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1867 with all the building methods.
1868 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1869 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1871 Error message improvements:
1872 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1873 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1874 in the error message, to be its child.
1875 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1877 Better workflow flexibility:
1878 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1879 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1881 Support for Debian backports suites:
1882 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1883 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1884 * Use correct default archive location.
1885 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1888 Packaging improvement:
1889 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1890 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1891 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1937 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1938 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1939 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1940 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1941 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1942 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1943 Distribution field as the suite.
1944 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1947 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1948 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1951 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1952 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1953 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1954 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1956 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1957 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1958 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.

1963 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.

1965 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.

2063 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2064 exactly to the top git commit.
2065 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2066 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2067 and can also have more skew.)
2068 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2069 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2070 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2071 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2072 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2073 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2074 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2075 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2076 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2077 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

2087 dgit (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
2089 * New cleaning arrangements.
2090 * More comprehensive workaround for `3.0 (quilt)'.
2091 * In push, double-check the .changes against the changelog.
2092 * Better error when source package contains .git. Closes: #720555.
2093 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
2094 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
2095 the remote suite branch.
2096 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
2097 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

2101 dgit (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
2103 * Fix comparison of archive's .dsc's hash and git branch head
2105 * When creating repos in dgit-repos (using the ssh-cmd method),
2106 copy _template rather than using mkdir and git init.
2108 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

2113 dgit (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
2115 * If dak ls, or rmadison, reports multiple versions, look for them
2116 all, and pick the newest .dsc that doesn't give 404.
2117 * Manpage formatting fix.
2118 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
2119 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

2132 * Upload to unstable, as this version mostly works. (All the RC
2133 bugs of which I'm aware are now properly represented in the BTS.)

2137 dgit (0.4~pre2) experimental; urgency=low
2139 * Mangle debian/<version> tags the way git-buildpackage does
2140 (as of git-buildpackage 0.5.5, 3c6bbd0f4992f8da).
2141 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
2142 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
2143 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
2144 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.

2148 dgit (0.4~pre1) experimental; urgency=low
2150 * Use dgit.debian.net vhost on alioth. Closes:#720172.
2151 * Usage message. Closes:#720085.
2152 * Provide "dgit sbuild".
2153 * Assorted manpage fixes and improvements.
2154 * Fail if a required config item is missing.
2155 * Much better error messages.
2156 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
2157 * Better checking that the supplied .dsc and debian/changes correspond.
2158 * Ordering improvement in push: don't add dsc field until git push done.
2159 * New --distro option (helps with unknown suites).
