161 * Remove redundant use of List::Util qw(any). Closes:#851280.
162 * Remove redundant Recommends on libtext-iconv-perl.

230 suite and distro more reliably and consistently.
231 * Parsing of extended Dgit fields by import-dsc was broken;
232 and is now fixed even for more-extended ones.
233 * dgit clone-dgit-repos-server uses readonly access.
235 * fetch and pull ignore the changelog suite when it is UNRELEASED.
237 * dgit-badcommit-fixup: Do not investigate symrefs. Closes:#850547.
240 * distro alias facility in config space. (Primarily for testing.)

243 * Honour dgit-distro.*.default-suite and dgit.default.default-suite.
246 * Improve debugging output a bit.
247 * Use refs/dgit-fetch/DISTRO rather than refs/dgit-fetch/SUITE,
248 which leads to less duplication and so less clutter.
249 * Enforce a reasonable syntax for nominal distro names.
250 * When generating orig+debian/patches view, copy debian/ from
251 HEAD. This makes less noise in diffs. Closes:#850095.

264 * Strip block count out of find -ls output - it is unstable!
265 * gbp-orig: Add a missing -m, without which git would run an
266 editor if stdout was a tty (!)
267 * Add t-stunt-parsechangelog to a few tests which were missing it.
268 * Tests for the new protocol feature.

289 Dealing with fallout from #849041:

292 clients' interpretation of Dgit fields, so that history-rewriting is
293 effective. (Feature is only partially implemented right now -
294 enough to dig current Debian users out of the hole.) Re:#850431.
297 * New test case for history-rewriting.
298 * Change `local foo=$(bar)' idiom to `local foo; foo=$(bar)' since
299 the former does not trip set -e even if bar fails :-(.

363 * Slightly better message when .dsc not found. Apropos of #844128.
364 * Give better advice if .dsc/.changes signing fails: if no changes

438 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
439 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
440 is left somewhere useful.
441 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.
442 This makes it less likely that the user will trip over any

460 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
461 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
463 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
464 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
466 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
467 like testing. Closes:#842621.

583 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
584 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
585 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
586 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
587 to change for the dgit user.
588 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
589 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
592 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
593 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
596 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
597 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
598 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
599 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
600 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
601 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
602 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
604 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
605 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
607 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
608 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
609 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
610 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
611 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
612 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
613 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
614 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
615 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
616 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
617 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
618 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
619 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
620 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
621 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
622 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
623 from dgit about what it was doing.
624 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
626 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
627 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
629 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
630 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
631 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
635 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
636 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
638 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
639 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
640 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
644 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
645 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
646 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
647 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
648 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
651 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
652 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
653 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
654 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
655 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
656 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
657 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
658 messages. Closes:#800078.
659 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
660 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
661 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
662 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
663 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
664 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
666 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
667 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
668 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
669 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
670 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
671 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
672 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
673 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
674 anyway. Closes:#827892.
675 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
676 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
677 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
678 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
681 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
682 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
683 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
684 Cosmetic change only.
685 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
686 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
687 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
688 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
689 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
690 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
691 to rollback and release the lock.
692 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
693 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
694 different test case git working tree tarballs.
695 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
697 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
698 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
699 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
700 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
701 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
703 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

707 dgit (1.4) unstable; urgency=high
710 * Unbreak --dry-run (`exiting subroutine via next', broken in
711 ac221d67, bug released in 0.22).
712 * When running git-add in commit-quilty-patch, properly escape
713 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).
714 * When running git-add in commit-quilty-patch, use -f and sometimes -A,
715 so as to avoid being broken by any .gitignore, etc.
716 * When quilt linearisation fails, print the right information in
717 the error message. (This has been broken forever.)
718 * Cope properly with `3.0 (quilt)' with single-debian-patch.
719 Closes:#796016. (Still does not work with wheezy's dpkg-source, so
721 * With dgit sbuild, pass our -d before the user's arguments, so that
722 the user can override it. Closes:#796019.
724 New checks and improved behaviours:
725 * Detect and reject git trees containing debian/source/local-options
726 or debian/source/local-patch-header.
727 * In --dry-run mode, _do_ actually run dpkg-source --commit so that we
728 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
729 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
730 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
733 * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
734 removed by rules clean.
737 * Run quilt-fixup with -wgf in distropatches-reject,
738 so that we don't need build-depends.

742 dgit (1.3) unstable; urgency=high
745 * In option parser test `@ARGV' not `length @ARGV'. Closes:#795710.
746 * Properly quote package name when constructing regexp in
747 complete_file_from_dsc. Closes:#795736. Also, grep the code for
748 likely similar problems elsewhere and improve a (harmless) instance in
752 * If a .orig in .. is a symlink, hardlink the link target into our
753 private unpack directory, rather than the link itself (since latter
754 won't work if the symlink is relative). Closes:#795665.
755 * Test suite: Fix t-restriction-x-dgit-schroot-build in non-adt mode.
756 * Infrastructure: Improve an error message in dgit-repos-policy-debian.

760 dgit (1.2) unstable; urgency=high
763 * Honour *.clean-mode configuration setting for --clean= mode.
764 * No longer require option values to be cuddled: support `--opt val' and
765 `-o val'. Closes:#763332.
769 * Document that tags are in DEP-14 format, and that they
770 are used for authenticating pushes.
771 * Correct cross-reference to point to browse.d.d.o.
772 * Move dgit.default.* to main CONFIGURATION section.
775 * Add missing close of #793060 to changelog for version 1.1.

779 dgit (1.1) unstable; urgency=medium
782 * When source package contains things called .git (even files, and even
783 in subdirectories), remove them. Closes:#793671.
784 * Work around curl -sS -I printing `HTTP/1.0 200 Connection established'
785 before the actual header, so dgit works with https_proxy set (!)
786 * --new is needed for read access to packages in NEW, too. Document
787 this, and make it work properly.
788 * Work around #793471 (madness with $SIG{__WARN__} and Perl's system
789 builtin): move $SIG{} setting into setup_sigwarn in Dgit.pm, and
791 * When invoking git-buildpackage via dgit gbp-build, consider our
792 command line arguments when massaging the dpkg-buildpackage arguments,
793 so that we don't end up giving dpkg-buildpackage contradictory
795 * Cope with new git-buildpackage which provides gbp, rather than the
796 eponymous command, on PATH.
799 * Honour dgit-distros.DISTRO.cmd-CMD and .opts-CMD. Closes:#793427.
800 * Make configuration able to prevent dpkg-mergechangelogs setup.
801 * Provide dgit setup-new-tree (like dpkg-setup-mergechangelogs
802 but only does it if not disabled in config).
803 * Set up git user.email and user.name from distro access config
804 or DEBEMAIL/DEBFULLNAME. Closes:#793410.
805 * When key to use not specified any other way, use the debian/changelog
806 trailer line. Closes:#793423.
807 * Honour --git= (mostly).
810 * Fix some manpage typos. [ Richard Hartmann ]
811 * Manpage said that --clean=check was -wn but that is --clean=none;
812 correctly document that --clean=check is actually -wc.
813 * Document that up to -DDDD (not just -DD) is meaningfully different.
814 * Document that -cname=value applies only for this run.
815 * Improve manpage comment about defining a new distro.
816 * Document that --quilt=linear is the default for Debian.
817 * Fix a formatting problem in --build-products-dir= doc.
818 * In manpage, do not seem to imply that NMU should be of only one
820 * Qualify to Debian the manpage comment about how to do NMU.
821 * In discussion on how to start using dgit when already using git, do
822 not imply/assume that existing git history will have identical trees
824 * Remove stray sentence in config section of manpage.
825 * Manpage: Clarify wording of readonly config.
826 * Manpage: Better cross-references for -k and keyid.
827 * dgit(7): No longer say that dgit-repos lives on Alioth.
830 * Introduce more sophisticated protocol negotiation for rpush.
831 * Do not quote `:' in shellquote.
832 * Print a supplementary message when push fails, giving advice to
833 the user about how to retry. Closes:#793144.
834 * Slurp in entire git config, for better performance.
835 * Rename `git-build' operation to `gbp-build' to make it clearer what
836 it's for. Keep the old name as an alias.
837 * Show `dgit sbuild' in usage message.
838 * When we are using dpkg-buildpackage to clean before using it to also
839 do the build, let it do its cleaning thing as part of its run, rather
840 than running it twice. When we are _not_ supposed to be using
841 dpkg-buildpackage to clean, but we are running it to do the build,
842 pass -nc. Closes:#793060.

851 Packaging, cleanups, debugging and test suite:
852 * Fix Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browse to refer to chiark. (The dgit-repos on
853 alioth aren't suitable right now because the master there can

912 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
914 * Client uses new infrastructure:
915 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
916 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
918 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
921 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
922 packages. Closes:#764606.
923 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
924 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
925 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
926 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
928 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
930 Other significant improvements:
932 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
933 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
935 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
936 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
937 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
939 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
940 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
942 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
944 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
945 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
946 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
948 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
952 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
953 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
954 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
955 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
960 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
961 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
962 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
963 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
964 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
965 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
967 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
968 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
970 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
972 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
973 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
974 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
975 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
977 Documentation improvements:
979 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
980 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
981 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
982 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
983 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
984 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
985 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
987 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
989 Behind-the-scenes work:
991 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
992 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
993 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
994 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
995 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
996 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
997 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
998 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
999 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1000 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable

1029 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.

1052 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1054 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1055 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1056 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1057 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1058 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1059 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1060 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1061 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1062 dgit rather than system one.
1063 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1065 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1066 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1067 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1068 used by default for any distro.
1069 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1070 the push of the suite branch ref.
1071 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1072 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1080 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1081 with all the building methods.
1082 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1083 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1085 Error message improvements:
1086 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1087 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1088 in the error message, to be its child.
1089 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1091 Better workflow flexibility:
1092 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1093 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1095 Support for Debian backports suites:
1096 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1097 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1098 * Use correct default archive location.
1099 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1102 Packaging improvement:
1103 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1104 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1105 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1126 Bump archive upload urgency to high.

1132 * sshpsql archive query method passes LANG=C. Closes:#729788.
1133 * Subcommand program or argument options containing hyphens work.
1134 (Eg, --dpkg-buildpackage:blah was previously incorrectly rejected.)
1138 * Depend on curl | wget, as dget needs one of those. (The dput package,
1139 which contains dget, doesn't require them because dput itself works

1144 dgit (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
1147 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1149 Improved behaviours:
1150 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1151 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1152 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1153 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1154 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1155 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1156 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1157 Distribution field as the suite.
1158 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1161 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1162 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1165 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1166 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1167 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1168 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1170 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1171 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1172 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1174 Documentation and message fixes:
1175 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1176 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1177 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1178 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1179 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1180 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1183 Internal and debugging improvements:
1184 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1185 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
1186 * Some code motion and cleanups.

1199 dgit (0.17) unstable; urgency=high
1201 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.
1202 This avoids breaking when git makes packed refs. Closes:728893.
1203 * Clarify error message for missing refs/remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>.

1209 * Format `(3.0) quilt' fixup does not mind extraneous other files
1210 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
1211 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
1212 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
1213 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

1217 dgit (0.15) unstable; urgency=low
1219 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
1220 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
1221 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
1222 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
1223 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

1229 * Include package name in tag message.
1230 * Create directory .git/dgit when needed during build. Closes: #721428.
1231 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
1232 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
1233 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

1237 dgit (0.13) unstable; urgency=low
1239 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1240 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1241 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1242 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1243 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1244 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1245 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1246 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1248 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1249 --dry-run often not work at all.
1250 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1252 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1253 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1254 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1262 * Improve error message for non-fast-forward push. Closes: #720896.
1263 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.
1264 * New --no-quilt-fixup option to suppress quilt fixup. RTFM.
1265 * Add Closes line for #720595 to changelog entry for 0.11.

1269 dgit (0.11) unstable; urgency=low
1271 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1272 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1274 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1276 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1277 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1278 exactly to the top git commit.
1279 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1280 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1281 and can also have more skew.)
1282 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1283 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1284 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1285 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1286 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1287 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1288 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1289 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1290 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1291 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

1301 dgit (0.9) unstable; urgency=low
1303 * New cleaning arrangements.
1304 * More comprehensive workaround for `3.0 (quilt)'.
1305 * In push, double-check the .changes against the changelog.
1306 * Better error when source package contains .git. Closes: #720555.
1307 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
1308 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
1309 the remote suite branch.
1310 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
1311 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

1315 dgit (0.8) unstable; urgency=low
1317 * Fix comparison of archive's .dsc's hash and git branch head
1319 * When creating repos in dgit-repos (using the ssh-cmd method),
1320 copy _template rather than using mkdir and git init.
1322 * In push, do git fetch as well as archive fetch, or archive

1327 dgit (0.7) unstable; urgency=low
1329 * If dak ls, or rmadison, reports multiple versions, look for them
1330 all, and pick the newest .dsc that doesn't give 404.
1331 * Manpage formatting fix.
1332 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>
1333 so that we avoid a warning from git about ambiguous branch names.

1354 (as of git-buildpackage 0.5.5, 3c6bbd0f4992f8da).
1355 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
1356 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
1357 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
1358 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.

1366 * Provide "dgit sbuild".
1367 * Assorted manpage fixes and improvements.
1368 * Fail if a required config item is missing.
1369 * Much better error messages.
1370 * Better error checking when parsing RFC822-style control data.
1371 * Better checking that the supplied .dsc and debian/changes correspond.
1372 * Ordering improvement in push: don't add dsc field until git push done.
1373 * New --distro option (helps with unknown suites).
