In more detail: dgit push checks that the current HEAD corresponds to
the .dsc. It then pushes the HEAD to the suite's dgit-repos branch,
+adjusts the .changes to include any .origs which the archive lacks
+and exclude .origs which the archive has
+(so -sa and -sd are not needed when building for dgit push),
makes a signed git tag, edits the .dsc to contain the dgit metadata
field, runs debsign to sign the upload (.dsc and .changes), pushes the
signed tag, and finally uses dput to upload the .changes to the
dpkg-genchanges.
Options which are safe to pass include
-.BR "-si -sa -sd -C" .
+.BR -C
+(and also
+.BR "-si -sa -sd"
+although these should never be necessary with Debian since dgit
+automatically calculates whether .origs need to be uploaded.)
For other options the caveat below applies.
.TP
which dpkg-source is not able to represent.
Your build or push will probably fail later.
.TP
+.B --force-changes-origs-exactly
+Use the set of .origs specified in your .changes, exactly,
+without regard to what is in the archive already.
+The archive may well reject your upload.
+.TP
.B --force-unsupported-source-format
Carry on despite dgit not understanding your source package format.
dgit will probably mishandle it.
+.TP
+.B --force-dsc-changes-mismatch
+Do not check whether .dsc and .changes match.
+The archive will probably reject your upload.
+.TP
+.BR --force-import-gitapply-absurd " | " --force-import-gitapply-no-absurd
+Force on or off the use of the absurd git-apply emulation
+when running gbp pq import
+when importing a package from a .dsc.
+See Debian bug #841867.
.SH WORKFLOW - SIMPLE
It is always possible with dgit to clone or fetch a package, make
changes in git (using git-commit) on the suite branch
