.B dgit setup-new-tree
Configure the current working tree the way that dgit clone would have
set it up. Like running
-.B dgit setup-useremail
-and
+.BR "dgit setup-useremail" ,
.B setup-mergechangelogs
+and
+.B setup-gitattributes
(but only does each thing if dgit is configured to do it automatically).
You can use these in any git repository, not just ones used with
the other dgit operations.
which uses
.BR dpkg-mergechangelogs .
.TP
+.B dgit setup-gitattributes
+Set up the working tree's
+.B .git/info/attributes
+to disable all transforming attributes for all files.
+This is done by defining a macro attribute
+.B dgit-defuse-attrs
+and applying it to
+.BR * .
+For why, see
+.B GITATTRIBUTES
+in
+.BR dgit(7) .
+
+(If there is already a macro attribute line
+.B [attr]dgit-defuse-attrs
+in .git/info/attributes
+(whatever its effects),
+this operation does nothing further.
+This fact can be used to defeat or partially defeat
+dgit setup-gitattributes
+and hence
+dgit setup-new-tree.)
+.TP
.B dgit quilt-fixup
`3.0 (quilt)' format source packages need changes representing not
only in-tree but also as patches in debian/patches. dgit quilt-fixup
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
-.BR --overwrite =\fIprevious-version\fR
+.BR --overwrite [=\fIprevious-version\fR]
Declare that even though your git branch is not a descendant
of the version in the archive
according to the revision history,
by those in charge of the distro,
this option may prevent that rewrite from being effective.
Also,
-using it can mean that
+it can mean that
dgit fails to find necessary git commits.
.TP
.BR --dgit-view-save= \fIbranch\fR|\fIref\fR
in case dgit is confused.
(They might also be useful for testing error cases.)
.TP
-.B --import-dsc-with-dgit-field
+.B --force-import-dsc-with-dgit-field
Tell dgit import-dsc to treat a .dsc with a Dgit field
like one without it.
The result is a fresh import,
debian/changelog. True by default. Ignored for dgit
setup-mergechangelogs, which does it anyway.

+Whether to configure .git/info/attributes

+in new git trees.
+True by default. Ignored for dgit setup-gitattributes, which does it anyway.
