+ Bugfixes:
+ * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
+ * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
+ Closes:#842386.
+ * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
+ creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
+ Closes:#842608.
+ * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
+ like testing. Closes:#842621.
+ * Properly fetch all archive dgit view tags, as we intended.
+ * Actually provide a -p (--package=) option (!)
+
+ Test suite fixes:
+ * Test suite: Explicitly configure user.name and user.email, so
+ that tests work when environment doesn't have defaults.
+ Closes:#842279 (I hope).

+ * When in split build mode for `gbp-build' or `build', run
+ mergechanges as is required. Closes:#841990.
+ * Test suite: build-mode-*: Check that right .changes comes out
+ (detects #841990).
+ * Defend against debian/patches/series being an unusual object, in case
+ dpkg-source doesn't, in absurd git-apply fallback.
