+.BI -p package
+Specifies that we should process source package
+.I package
+rather than looking in debian/control or debian/changelog.
+Valid with dgit fetch and dgit pull, only.
+.TP
+.BR --clean=git " | " -wg
+The source tree should be cleaned, before building a source package
+with one of the build options, using
+.BR "git clean -xdf" .
+This will delete all files which are not tracked by git. Also, -wg
+causes dgit to pass
+.B -nc
+to dpkg-buildpackage, which prevents the package's own clean target
+from being run.
+
+--clean=git is useful when the package's clean target is troublesome;
+the downside is simply that git clean may delete files you forgot to
+git add.
+.TP
+.BR --clean=none " | " -wn
+Do not clean the tree before building a source package. If there are
+files which are not in git, or if the build creates such files, a
+subsequent dgit push will fail.
+.TP
+.BR --clean=dpkg-source " | " -wd
+Use dpkg-buildpackage to do the clean, so that the source package
+is cleaned by dpkg-source running the package's clean target.
+This is the default. It requires the package's build dependencies.
+.TP
+.BR -N " | " --new
+The package may be new in this suite. Without this, dgit will
+refuse to push.
+.TP
+.BR --ignore-dirty
+Do not complain if the working tree does not match your git HEAD.
+This can be useful with build, if you plan to commit later. (dgit
+push will still ensure that the .dsc you upload and the git tree
+you push are identical, so this option won't make broken pushes.)
+.TP
+.BI --deliberately- something
+Declare that you are deliberately doing
+.IR something .
+This can be used to override safety catches, including safety catches
+which relate to distro-specific policies. The meanings of
+.IR something s
+understood in the context of Debian are discussed below:
+.TP
+.BR --deliberately-not-fast-forward
+Declare that you are deliberately rewinding history. When pushing to
+Debian, use this when you are making a renewed upload of an entirely
+new source package whose previous version was not accepted for release
+from NEW because of problems with copyright or redistributibility.
+.TP
+.BR --deliberately-include-questionable-history
+Declare that you are deliberately including, in the git history of
+your current push, history which contains a previously-submitted
+version of this package which was not approved (or has not yet been
+approved) by the ftpmasters. When pushing to Debian, only use this
+option after verifying that: none of the rejected-from-NEW (or
+never-accepted) versions in the git history of your current push, were
+rejected by ftpmaster for copyright or redistributability reasons.
+.TP
+.BR --deliberately-fresh-repo
+Declare that you are deliberately rewinding history and want to
+throw away the existing repo. Not relevant when pushing to Debian,
+as the Debian server will do this automatically when necessary.
+.TP
+.BR --quilt=linear
+When fixing up source format `3.0 (quilt)' metadata, insist on
+generating a linear patch stack. If such a stack cannot be generated,
+fail.
+.TP
+.BR --quilt=auto
+When fixing up source format `3.0 (quilt)' metadata, prefer to
+generate a linear patch stack, but if that doesn't seem possible,
+generate a single squashed patch for all the changes made in git.
+This is not a good idea for an NMU in Debian.
+.TP
+.BR --quilt=smash
+When fixing up source format `3.0 (quilt)' metadata,
+generate a single squashed patch for all the changes made in git.
+This is not a good idea for an NMU in Debian.
+.TP
+.BR --quilt=nofix
+Check whether source format `3.0 (quilt)' metadata would need fixing
+up, but, if it does, fail. You must then fix the metadata yourself
+somehow before pushing. (NB that dpkg-source --commit will not work
+because the dgit git tree does not have a
+.B .pc
+directory.)
+.TP
+.BR --quilt=nocheck " | " --no-quilt-fixup
+Do not check whether up source format `3.0 (quilt)' metadata needs
+fixing up. If you use this option and the metadata did in fact need
+fixing up, dgit push will fail.
