3 Documentation improvements:
4 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.
5 * Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
6 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.
7 * dgit-maint-merge(7): many updates. [Sean Whitton]
8 Closes:#864873,#878433.
9 * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
10 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
13 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
14 specially. Closes:#886442.
15 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
16 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
17 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
18 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
19 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
20 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
23 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
24 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
27 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
29 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
30 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
31 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
32 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

39 Important bugfixes to dgit:
40 * Add missing `use' for Dpkg::Compression et al.
41 Thanks to report from Didier 'OdyX' Raboud. (Closes:#879526.)
44 * Add missing `chiark-utils-bin' to Test-Depends.

48 dgit (4.1) experimental; urgency=medium
50 Important improvements to dgit:
51 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
52 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
53 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
54 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
55 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
56 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
58 Other improvements to dgit:
59 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
60 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
61 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
64 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
65 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
66 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
67 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
70 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
73 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
74 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
77 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
78 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
79 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
80 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
82 * Other tests for new features.
83 * Various refactoring.

580 improved by Sean Whitton.
581 * dgit(7): Substantial updates, including documenting split view.
582 * dgit(1): Better cross-references.
583 * dgit(1): Remove obsolete workflow information.
584 * dgit(1): Improved BUGS section.
585 * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
589 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
590 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
592 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
593 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
595 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
596 like testing. Closes:#842621.
597 * Properly fetch all archive dgit view tags, as we intended.
598 * Actually provide a -p (--package=) option (!)
601 * Test suite: Explicitly configure user.name and user.email, so
602 that tests work when environment doesn't have defaults.
603 Closes:#842279 (I hope).

609 * When in split build mode for `gbp-build' or `build', run
610 mergechanges as is required. Closes:#841990.

613 * Defend against debian/patches/series being an unusual object, in case
614 dpkg-source doesn't, in absurd git-apply fallback.

620 Absurd bugfix for serious bug:
621 * Work around `git-apply' problems (eg #841865, #829067) exposed by
622 `gbp pq import' (#841866) by sometimes falling back to an emulation of
623 git-apply in terms of dpkg-source --before-build. Closes:#841867.
626 * dgit(1): Reorder the options, moving more important ones earlier.
627 * dgit(1): Some more info about --deliberately.
628 * Provide various --force-something options. Please don't use them.

643 * Do not crash in split brain quilt modes when the two brains are
644 actually identical. (Eg --quilt=gbp with no patches.) Closes:#841770.
645 * Switch to new archive/ tag format by default, even in
646 non-split-brain mode.
647 * Provide --gbp and --dpm as aliases for --quilt=gbp and --quilt=dpm.
650 * dgit-maint-merge(7): New tutorial manpage from Sean Whitton.
653 * Introduce setup/gnupg, to help work around gnupg2 bug #841143
654 and improve performance by amortising gnupg migration cost.

662 * split brain cache: Fix a wrong implicit reference to $_.
664 * split brain cache: Make sure to write reflog entries for cache updates
665 even if the eventual tree (and therefore commit) is the same.
666 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
667 but not be refreshed even by a build.
668 * dgit gbp-build: No longer invent a --git-debian-branch option.
669 Usually the user is a maintainer using split brain, and we should rely
670 on their own gbp configuration to specify the right check.
674 * dgit(1): Document which --ch: options are a good idea.

702 dgit: subprocess died due to fatal signal PIPE

704 messages, and test suite. Filter out .../git-core from PATH in
705 test suite so that we catch future occurrences.

709 dgit (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
712 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
713 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
714 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
715 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
716 to change for the dgit user.
717 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
718 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
721 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
722 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
725 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
726 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
727 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
728 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
729 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
730 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
731 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
733 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
734 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
736 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
737 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
738 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
739 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
740 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
741 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
742 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
743 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
744 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
745 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
746 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
747 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
748 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
749 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
750 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
751 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
752 from dgit about what it was doing.
753 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
755 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
756 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
758 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
759 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
760 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
764 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
765 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
767 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
768 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
769 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
773 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
774 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
775 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
776 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
777 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
780 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
781 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
782 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
783 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
784 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
785 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
786 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
787 messages. Closes:#800078.
788 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
789 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
790 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
791 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
792 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
793 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
795 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
796 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
797 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
798 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
799 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
800 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
801 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
802 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
803 anyway. Closes:#827892.
804 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
805 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
806 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
807 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
810 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
811 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
812 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
813 Cosmetic change only.
814 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
815 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
816 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
817 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
818 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
819 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
820 to rollback and release the lock.
821 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
822 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
823 different test case git working tree tarballs.
824 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
826 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
827 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
828 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
829 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
830 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
832 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

839 * Unbreak --dry-run (`exiting subroutine via next', broken in
840 ac221d67, bug released in 0.22).
841 * When running git-add in commit-quilty-patch, properly escape
842 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).
843 * When running git-add in commit-quilty-patch, use -f and sometimes -A,
844 so as to avoid being broken by any .gitignore, etc.
845 * When quilt linearisation fails, print the right information in
846 the error message. (This has been broken forever.)
847 * Cope properly with `3.0 (quilt)' with single-debian-patch.
848 Closes:#796016. (Still does not work with wheezy's dpkg-source, so
850 * With dgit sbuild, pass our -d before the user's arguments, so that
851 the user can override it. Closes:#796019.
853 New checks and improved behaviours:
854 * Detect and reject git trees containing debian/source/local-options
855 or debian/source/local-patch-header.
856 * In --dry-run mode, _do_ actually run dpkg-source --commit so that we
857 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
858 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
859 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
862 * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
863 removed by rules clean.
866 * Run quilt-fixup with -wgf in distropatches-reject,
867 so that we don't need build-depends.

898 * Document that tags are in DEP-14 format, and that they
899 are used for authenticating pushes.
900 * Correct cross-reference to point to browse.d.d.o.

914 before the actual header, so dgit works with https_proxy set (!)

916 this, and make it work properly.

918 builtin): move $SIG{} setting into setup_sigwarn in Dgit.pm, and
920 * When invoking git-buildpackage via dgit gbp-build, consider our
921 command line arguments when massaging the dpkg-buildpackage arguments,

924 * Cope with new git-buildpackage which provides gbp, rather than the
925 eponymous command, on PATH.

939 * Fix some manpage typos. [ Richard Hartmann ]
940 * Manpage said that --clean=check was -wn but that is --clean=none;
941 correctly document that --clean=check is actually -wc.
942 * Document that up to -DDDD (not just -DD) is meaningfully different.
943 * Document that -cname=value applies only for this run.

966 * Show `dgit sbuild' in usage message.
967 * When we are using dpkg-buildpackage to clean before using it to also
968 do the build, let it do its cleaning thing as part of its run, rather
969 than running it twice. When we are _not_ supposed to be using
970 dpkg-buildpackage to clean, but we are running it to do the build,

1041 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1043 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1044 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1045 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1047 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1050 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1051 packages. Closes:#764606.
1052 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1053 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1054 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1055 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1057 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1059 Other significant improvements:
1061 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1062 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1064 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1065 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1066 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1068 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1069 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1071 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1073 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1074 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1075 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1077 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1081 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1082 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1083 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1084 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1089 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1090 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1091 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1092 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1093 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1094 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1096 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1097 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1099 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1101 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1102 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1103 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1104 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1106 Documentation improvements:
1108 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1109 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1110 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1111 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1112 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1113 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1114 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1116 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1118 Behind-the-scenes work:
1120 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1121 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1122 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1123 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1124 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1125 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1126 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1127 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1128 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1129 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1131 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1132 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1138 * Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
1139 Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
1140 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

1148 * Clone removes destination directory on error. Closes:#736153.
1149 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
1151 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1152 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1153 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1155 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1156 re-retreive the .dsc.
1157 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1158 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1159 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1160 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1161 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1162 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1165 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1166 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1167 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1169 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1170 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1171 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1172 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1173 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1174 host. Closes:#736529.
1175 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1176 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1177 regression test scripts to use.
1178 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1179 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1180 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1181 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1183 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1184 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1185 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1186 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1187 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1188 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1189 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1190 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1191 dgit rather than system one.
1192 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1194 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1195 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1196 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1197 used by default for any distro.
1198 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1199 the push of the suite branch ref.
1200 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1201 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1207 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1208 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1209 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1210 with all the building methods.
1211 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1212 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1214 Error message improvements:
1215 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1216 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1217 in the error message, to be its child.
1218 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1220 Better workflow flexibility:
1221 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1222 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1224 Support for Debian backports suites:
1225 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1226 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1227 * Use correct default archive location.
1228 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1231 Packaging improvement:
1232 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1233 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1234 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1276 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1278 Improved behaviours:
1279 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1280 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1281 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1282 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1283 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1284 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1285 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1286 Distribution field as the suite.
1287 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1290 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1291 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1294 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1295 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1296 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1297 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1299 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1300 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1301 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1303 Documentation and message fixes:
1304 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1305 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1306 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1307 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1308 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1309 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1312 Internal and debugging improvements:
1313 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1314 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
1315 * Some code motion and cleanups.

1340 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
1341 etc. output when stdout is redirected.

1350 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
1351 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.

1360 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
1361 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
1362 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

1368 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1369 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1370 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1371 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1372 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1373 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1374 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1375 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1377 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1378 --dry-run often not work at all.
1379 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1381 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1382 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1383 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1400 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1401 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1403 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1405 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1406 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1407 exactly to the top git commit.
1408 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1409 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1410 and can also have more skew.)
1411 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1412 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1413 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1414 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1415 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1416 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1417 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1418 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1419 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1420 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

1437 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
1438 the remote suite branch.
