-Subject: Survey: git packaging practices / repository format
-Date: Tue, 28 May 2019 16:51:10 +0100
-
-While trying to write the dgit FAQ, and some of the relevant docs, it
-has become even more painfully obvious that we lack a good handle on
-what all the different ways are that people use git to do their Debian
-packaging, and what people call these formats/workflows, and what
-tools they use.
-
-Can you please look through the table below and see if I have covered
-everything you do ?
-
-In particular:
- - have I missed a git repository and history layout
- - have I missed a primary tool that should be mentioned
- - are any of the details wrong for workflows that you use ?
-
- Main packaging     Delta from upstream     Tools for manipulating
-  git branch         represented as          delta from upstream,
-  contains                                   building .dsc, etc.
-
- Unmodified         debian/patches             gbp, gbp pq
-  upstream files,    (only)                    quilt / dquilt
- plus debian/*                                 Manual patch editing
