dgit push always uses the package, suite and version specified in the
debian/changelog and the .dsc, which must agree. If the command line
specifies a suite then that must match too.

+When used on a git-debrebase branch,
+dgit calls git-debrebase

+for source package upload and push.

+\fBdgit push-source\fR [\fIsuite\fP]
+Without \fB-C\fR, builds a source package and dgit pushes it. Saying
+\fBdgit push-source\fR is like saying "update the source code in the

this operation does nothing further.
This fact can be used to defeat or partially defeat
dgit setup-gitattributes
other kinds of more exotic history. If dgit can't find a suitable
linearisation of your history, by default it will fail, but you can
ask it to generate a single squashed patch instead.
+
+When used with a git-debrebase branch,
+dgit will ask git-debrebase to prepare patches.
+However,
+dgit can make patches in some situations where git-debrebase fails,
+so dgit quilt-fixup can be useful in its own right.
+To always use dgit's own patch generator

+pass --git-debrebase=true to dgit.
