133 New tools for a "git-push-to-upload" workflow [Ian Jackson & Sean Whitton]:
134 * New script in a new binary package: git-debpush.
135 The new binary package is small, but
136 + git-debpush needs to be in src:dgit, because its test suite is the
137 dgit test suite; however,
138 + git-debpush is functionally and conceptually independent of dgit,
139 so should not go into bin:dgit; in particular
140 + git-debpush's dependencies are quite different to the other
142 * New dgit-infrastructure subcommand, tag2upload, to process tags made
144 Please see git-debpush(1) for a sketch of the workflow.
147 * Allow the -p option to be used with various push modes.
148 * Include dgit tag metadata in maintainer view tags.
149 For consistency with, and use by, git-debpush.
150 * Include quilt metadata in the archive/ (dgit view) tag.
151 * rpush protocol: Version 6, which includes split brain information
152 for maintainer view tags. And, actually use newer version
153 (was broken in 9.0, which would prefer to select 4 not 5).
154 * Add some missing blank lines to tag messages.
155 * Some other refactoring.
158 * dgit(1): fix a reference in the description of --quilt=auto [Sean
162 * Do not translate tag subject lines, because these are parsed by
166 * Test cases for new tools for "git-push-to-upload" workflow.
167 * drs-git-ext: honour DGIT_DRS_MODE.
168 * Provide a stunt sendmail and a stunt dgit.
169 * Unset CDPATH in case caller has it set.
170 * Some other refactoring.
173 * Update d/copyright years to include 2019 [Sean Whitton].

177 dgit (9.0) unstable; urgency=medium
179 dgit - low-impact incompatible change:
180 * Drop support for, and testing of, dgit versions which use old tag name
181 (debian/V; now that is maintainer view and dgit is archive/debian/V).
182 The new tags came in in dgit 2.0 in October 2016. No version of dgit
183 without them was in any Debian release. We don't expect there are any
184 sites using old servers which do not support the new format, or anyone
185 using a dgit client older than 2.x who cannot upgrade.
187 git-debrebase fixes [Niko Tyni]:
188 * Fix `git-debrebase convert-from-dgit-view <upstream>', which
189 would crash due to an argument parser bug. Closes:#930214.
190 * git-debrebase(1): typo fix. Closes:#930215.
192 dgit - new capabilities:
193 * Support split view with native packages, and with all quilt modes.
194 Now we distinguish "split view" (meaning separate dgit branch) from
195 "splitting quilt modes" (eg --quilt-unapplied).
196 [Prompted in part by enquiries from Sam Hartman] Closes:#926640.
197 * Support for bare debian/ directory (aka packaging-only) git branches
198 Ie, --quilt=baredebian[+tarball]. [Thanks for info from Shengjing
199 Zhu, and docs and UI contributions/review from Sean Whitton.]
200 Closes:#903392. Closes:#931253.
203 * Fix --dgit-view-save option alias, which never worked.
204 (--save-dgit-view worked, and still does, though.)
205 * i18n: Do not translate import commit messages.
207 dgit - other documentation improvements [Sean Whitton]:
208 * Expand on description of --include-dirty. New text may help
209 user avoid unexpected file deletion. Closes:#930922.
210 * dgit-maint-*(7): Suggest --name-status --diff-filter. Closes:#930956.
211 * dgit-maint-*(7): Using untagged upstream commits. Closes:#930964.
213 dgit - minor consequences of these other changes:
214 * Actually properly reject invalid quilt modes found in git config.
215 (Previously they might be accepted and then cause malfunctions.)
216 * Reject split brain quilt modes with single-debian-patch.
217 (Previously this would malfunction; now we reject it.)
218 * i18n: Add translator notes about ASCII art changes display.
219 * Drop "dgit view: changes are required..." message.
220 * Some other minor changes to quilt fixup error handling.
221 * Changes to debugging output related to quilt modes and split view.
222 * Introduce rpush protocol version 5. Minimum version is now 4.
223 * Considerable internal rearrangement of quilt fixup code.
224 * Considerable test suite work including new tests.
227 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Test taint removal. Closes:#929249.

271 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
272 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
273 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
274 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
275 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
276 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
277 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
278 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
279 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
280 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
281 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
283 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
284 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
285 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
286 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
287 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
288 * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
289 * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
290 there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.
291 * Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).
293 i18n - new translations [Frans Spiesschaert]:

295 * nl, messages. Closes:#917148.

347 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
348 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
349 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
350 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
351 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
352 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
353 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
354 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
355 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
356 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
357 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
359 dgit - Improved behaviours:
360 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
361 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
362 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
363 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
364 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
366 dgit - Important bugfixes:
367 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
368 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
369 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
370 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
371 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
372 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
373 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
374 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
376 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
377 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
378 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
379 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
380 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
381 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
382 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
384 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
385 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
386 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
387 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
388 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
391 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
392 is therefore not done.
393 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
394 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
395 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.

542 git-debrebase, bugfixes:
543 * make-patches: Do not bail if there aren't any.
544 * scrap: works properly when it does only rebase --abort.
545 * On rebase: always save ffq-prev even if we were both stitched and
546 laundered. Closes:#905975.
548 git-debrebase, improvements:
549 * Speed: improve laundry performance by a factor of ~55:1,
550 and analysis performance by factor of ~4.2:1. Closes:#905995.
551 * prepush: this is now a silent no-op if the branch is
552 unstitched. This is more friendly.
553 * convert-from-*: Snag on patches in d/patches which are not in series,
554 because they will be deleted. Closes:#904997.
555 * Highly experimental merge resolution support, enabled only with
556 special command line option.
557 * Lots of internal changes to support merge, and other work.
558 * convert-from-*: Check whether ffq-prev or debrebase-last indicate that
559 we are already in gdr format.
560 * convert-from-*: leave debrebase-last refs to hint to everyone that
561 this is now a gdr branch.
563 git-debrebase, improved messages:

574 --quilt=smash or dpkg-source --commit in the error message.
576 * Do not suggest --quilt modes if quilt fixup "stopped at"
577 a commit made by git-debrebase. Closes:#906197.
578 * Mention gitattributes as a potential problem in quilt linearisation
579 failure, when appropriate. Closes:#906199.
582 * dgit(1): Encourage --overwrite rather than --overwrite=version.
583 * Document that we do not suppress attributes which affect git-archive.
584 This is related to #906199.
587 * test suite: Set DEBFULLNAME

688 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
689 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
692 dgit behavioural changes:
693 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
694 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
695 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
696 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
697 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
698 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
699 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old
700 name supported as a deprecated alias).

976 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
977 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
978 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
979 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
980 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
981 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.

1041 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
1044 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
1045 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
1046 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
1047 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
1050 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
1053 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.

1057 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
1058 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
1059 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
1060 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce

1600 Absurd bugfix for serious bug:
1601 * Work around `git-apply' problems (eg #841865, #829067) exposed by
1602 `gbp pq import' (#841866) by sometimes falling back to an emulation of
1603 git-apply in terms of dpkg-source --before-build. Closes:#841867.

1646 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1647 but not be refreshed even by a build.
1648 * dgit gbp-build: No longer invent a --git-debian-branch option.
1649 Usually the user is a maintainer using split brain, and we should rely
1650 on their own gbp configuration to specify the right check.

1691 Incompatible change:
1692 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1693 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1694 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1695 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1696 to change for the dgit user.
1697 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1698 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1701 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1702 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1705 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1706 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1707 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1708 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1709 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1710 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1711 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1713 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1714 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1716 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1717 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1718 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1719 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1720 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1721 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1722 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1723 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1724 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1725 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1726 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1727 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1728 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1729 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1730 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1731 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1732 from dgit about what it was doing.
1733 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1735 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1736 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1738 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1739 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1740 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1744 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1745 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1747 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1748 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1749 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1753 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1754 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1755 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1756 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1757 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1760 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1761 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1762 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1763 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1764 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1765 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1766 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1767 messages. Closes:#800078.
1768 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1769 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1770 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1771 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1772 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1773 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1775 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1776 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1777 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1778 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1779 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1780 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1781 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1782 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1783 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1784 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1785 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1786 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1787 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1790 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1791 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1792 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1793 Cosmetic change only.
1794 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1795 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1796 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1797 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1798 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1799 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1800 to rollback and release the lock.
1801 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1802 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1803 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1804 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1806 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1807 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1808 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
1809 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
1810 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
1812 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

1822 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).

1837 actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
1838 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
1839 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.

1843 removed by rules clean.

2021 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
2023 * Client uses new infrastructure:
2024 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
2025 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
2027 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
2030 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
2031 packages. Closes:#764606.
2032 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
2033 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
2034 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
2035 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
2037 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
2039 Other significant improvements:
2041 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
2042 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
2044 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
2045 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
2046 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
2048 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
2049 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
2051 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
2053 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
2054 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
2055 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
2057 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
2061 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
2062 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
2063 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
2064 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
2069 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
2070 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
2071 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
2072 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
2073 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
2074 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
2076 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
2077 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
2079 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
2081 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
2082 ancestor of git repo's git hash.

2090 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
2091 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
2092 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
2093 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
2094 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
2096 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
2098 Behind-the-scenes work:
2100 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
2101 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
2102 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
2103 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
2104 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
2105 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
2106 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
2107 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
2108 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
2109 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
2111 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
2112 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

2118 * Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
2119 Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
2120 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

2129 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
2131 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
2132 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
2133 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
2135 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
2136 re-retreive the .dsc.
2137 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
2138 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
2139 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
2140 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
2141 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
2142 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
2145 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
2146 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
2147 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
2149 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
2150 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
2151 message instead. Closes:#736526.
2152 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
2153 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
2154 host. Closes:#736529.
2155 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
2156 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
2157 regression test scripts to use.
2158 * Print better message for unknown operations.
2159 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
2160 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
2161 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
2163 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
2164 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
2165 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
2166 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
2167 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
2168 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
2169 * Fixed a manpage typo.
2170 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
2171 dgit rather than system one.
2172 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
2174 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
2175 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
2176 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
2177 used by default for any distro.
2178 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
2179 the push of the suite branch ref.
2180 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
2181 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

2187 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
2188 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
2189 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
2190 with all the building methods.
2191 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
2192 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
2194 Error message improvements:
2195 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
2196 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
2197 in the error message, to be its child.
2198 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
2200 Better workflow flexibility:
2201 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
2202 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
2204 Support for Debian backports suites:
2205 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
2206 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
2207 * Use correct default archive location.
2208 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
2211 Packaging improvement:
2212 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
2213 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
2214 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

2256 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
2258 Improved behaviours:
2259 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
2260 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
2261 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
2262 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2263 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2264 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
2265 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
2266 Distribution field as the suite.
2267 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
2270 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
2271 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
2274 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
2275 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2276 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
2277 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
2279 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
2280 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
2281 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
2283 Documentation and message fixes:
2284 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
2285 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
2286 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
2287 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
2288 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
2289 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
2292 Internal and debugging improvements:
2293 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
2294 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.

2330 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.

2348 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.

2350 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
2351 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2352 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2353 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2354 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2355 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2357 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2358 --dry-run often not work at all.
2359 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2361 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
2362 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
2363 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

2380 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
2381 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
2383 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2385 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2386 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2387 exactly to the top git commit.
2388 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2389 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2390 and can also have more skew.)
2391 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2392 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2393 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2394 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2395 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2396 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2397 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2398 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2399 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2400 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
