76 New tools for a "git-push-to-upload" workflow [Ian Jackson & Sean Whitton]:
77 * New script in a new binary package: git-debpush.
78 The new binary package is small, but
79 + git-debpush needs to be in src:dgit, because its test suite is the
80 dgit test suite; however,
81 + git-debpush is functionally and conceptually independent of dgit,
82 so should not go into bin:dgit; in particular
83 + git-debpush's dependencies are quite different to the other
85 * New dgit-infrastructure subcommand, tag2upload, to process tags made
87 Please see git-debpush(1) for a sketch of the workflow.
90 * Allow the -p option to be used with various push modes.
91 * Include dgit tag metadata in maintainer view tags.
92 For consistency with, and use by, git-debpush.
93 * Include quilt metadata in the archive/ (dgit view) tag.
94 * rpush protocol: Version 6, which includes split brain information
95 for maintainer view tags. And, actually use newer version
96 (was broken in 9.0, which would prefer to select 4 not 5).
97 * Add some missing blank lines to tag messages.
98 * Some other refactoring.
101 * dgit(1): fix a reference in the description of --quilt=auto [Sean
105 * Do not translate tag subject lines, because these are parsed by

120 dgit (9.0) unstable; urgency=medium
122 dgit - low-impact incompatible change:
123 * Drop support for, and testing of, dgit versions which use old tag name
124 (debian/V; now that is maintainer view and dgit is archive/debian/V).
125 The new tags came in in dgit 2.0 in October 2016. No version of dgit
126 without them was in any Debian release. We don't expect there are any
127 sites using old servers which do not support the new format, or anyone
128 using a dgit client older than 2.x who cannot upgrade.
130 git-debrebase fixes [Niko Tyni]:
131 * Fix `git-debrebase convert-from-dgit-view <upstream>', which
132 would crash due to an argument parser bug. Closes:#930214.
133 * git-debrebase(1): typo fix. Closes:#930215.
135 dgit - new capabilities:
136 * Support split view with native packages, and with all quilt modes.
137 Now we distinguish "split view" (meaning separate dgit branch) from
138 "splitting quilt modes" (eg --quilt-unapplied).
139 [Prompted in part by enquiries from Sam Hartman] Closes:#926640.
140 * Support for bare debian/ directory (aka packaging-only) git branches
141 Ie, --quilt=baredebian[+tarball]. [Thanks for info from Shengjing
142 Zhu, and docs and UI contributions/review from Sean Whitton.]
143 Closes:#903392. Closes:#931253.
146 * Fix --dgit-view-save option alias, which never worked.
147 (--save-dgit-view worked, and still does, though.)
148 * i18n: Do not translate import commit messages.
150 dgit - other documentation improvements [Sean Whitton]:
151 * Expand on description of --include-dirty. New text may help
152 user avoid unexpected file deletion. Closes:#930922.
153 * dgit-maint-*(7): Suggest --name-status --diff-filter. Closes:#930956.
154 * dgit-maint-*(7): Using untagged upstream commits. Closes:#930964.
156 dgit - minor consequences of these other changes:
157 * Actually properly reject invalid quilt modes found in git config.
158 (Previously they might be accepted and then cause malfunctions.)
159 * Reject split brain quilt modes with single-debian-patch.
160 (Previously this would malfunction; now we reject it.)
161 * i18n: Add translator notes about ASCII art changes display.
162 * Drop "dgit view: changes are required..." message.
163 * Some other minor changes to quilt fixup error handling.
164 * Changes to debugging output related to quilt modes and split view.
165 * Introduce rpush protocol version 5. Minimum version is now 4.
166 * Considerable internal rearrangement of quilt fixup code.
167 * Considerable test suite work including new tests.
170 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Test taint removal. Closes:#929249.

214 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
215 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
216 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
217 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
218 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
219 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
220 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
221 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
222 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
223 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
224 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
226 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
227 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
228 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
229 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
230 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
231 * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible. Closes:#913648.
232 * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
233 there are any, link them into the bpd. Closes:#904878.
234 * Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).
236 i18n - new translations [Frans Spiesschaert]:
237 * nl, dgit-user(7). Closes:#918253.
238 * nl, messages. Closes:#917148.
241 * dgit(1): Fix documentation of .quilt-mode config.
242 * dgit(1): Fix a formatting typo (spurious .TP). Closes:#917194.
243 * dgit-user(7): Fix formatting error in comment about multi-arch.
244 * dgit-maint-debrebase(7): handle DFSG-filtering for a new package.

290 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
291 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
292 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
293 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
294 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
295 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
296 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
297 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
298 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
299 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
300 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
302 dgit - Improved behaviours:
303 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
304 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
305 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
306 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
307 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
309 dgit - Important bugfixes:
310 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
311 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
312 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
313 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
314 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
315 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
316 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
317 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
319 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
320 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.
321 * quilt fixup: Cope if gdr analysis finds origin. Closes:#910687.
322 * Add missing error check in single-debian-patch handling.
323 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
324 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
325 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
327 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
328 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
329 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
330 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
331 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
334 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
335 is therefore not done.
336 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
337 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
338 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.

346 * Slight reorganisation to documentation of --clean=dpkg-source etc.
349 * Makefile: Provide i18n-commit target.

631 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
632 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
635 dgit behavioural changes:
636 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
637 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
638 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
639 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
640 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
641 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
642 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old
643 name supported as a deprecated alias).
645 Test suite improvements:
646 * test suite: unset VISUAL, which interferes. Closes:#904308.
647 * Honour DGIT_SCHROOT_CHROOT to set the schroot to use for the sbuild
649 * Support tests/run-all --progressive.
650 * Drop now-obsolete *-asplit tests.
653 * apt-get method: when apt does not update release files,
654 unconditionally print hint about noatime. Closes:#851873.
655 * messages: Be a lot more friendly about NEW in particular,

733 - The tests now pass (most of the time, at least) in
734 current Debian unstable, whereas 5.5's fail utterly.
735 - There is still occasional lossage. So when running tests

812 fetch. Closes:#871317.

918 New features [Sean Whitton]:
919 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
920 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
921 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
922 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
923 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
924 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
926 Documentation improvements:
927 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.

938 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
939 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
940 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
941 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.

953 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
954 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).

977 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
978 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
979 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
981 Other improvements to dgit:
982 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
983 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
984 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
987 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
988 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
989 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
990 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
993 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
996 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
997 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
1000 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
1001 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
1002 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.

1301 * Enforce a reasonable syntax for nominal distro names.
1302 * When generating orig+debian/patches view, copy debian/ from

1589 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1590 but not be refreshed even by a build.
1591 * dgit gbp-build: No longer invent a --git-debian-branch option.
1592 Usually the user is a maintainer using split brain, and we should rely
1593 on their own gbp configuration to specify the right check.

1632 dgit (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
1634 Incompatible change:
1635 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1636 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1637 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1638 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1639 to change for the dgit user.
1640 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1641 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1644 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1645 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1648 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1649 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1650 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1651 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1652 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1653 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1654 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1656 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1657 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1659 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1660 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1661 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1662 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1663 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1664 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1665 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1666 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1667 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1668 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1669 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1670 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1671 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1672 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1673 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1674 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1675 from dgit about what it was doing.
1676 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1678 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1679 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1681 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1682 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1683 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1687 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1688 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1690 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1691 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1692 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1696 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1697 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1698 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1699 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1700 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1703 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1704 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1705 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1706 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1707 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1708 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1709 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1710 messages. Closes:#800078.
1711 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1712 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1713 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1714 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1715 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1716 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1718 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1719 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1720 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1721 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1722 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1723 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1724 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1725 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1726 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1727 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1728 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1729 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1730 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1733 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1734 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1735 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1736 Cosmetic change only.
1737 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1738 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1739 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1740 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1741 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1742 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1743 to rollback and release the lock.
1744 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1745 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1746 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1747 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1749 * Provide better log output for certain failures.

1964 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1966 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1967 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1968 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1970 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1973 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1974 packages. Closes:#764606.
1975 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1976 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1977 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1978 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1980 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1982 Other significant improvements:
1984 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1985 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1987 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1988 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1989 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1991 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1992 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1994 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1996 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1997 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1998 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
2000 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
2004 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
2005 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
2006 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
2007 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
2012 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
2013 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
2014 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
2015 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
2016 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
2017 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
2019 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
2020 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
2022 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
2024 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
2025 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
2026 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
2027 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
2029 Documentation improvements:
2031 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).

2045 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
2046 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
2047 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
2048 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).

2090 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
2092 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
2093 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
2094 message instead. Closes:#736526.
2095 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
2096 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
2097 host. Closes:#736529.
2098 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
2099 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
2100 regression test scripts to use.
2101 * Print better message for unknown operations.
2102 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
2103 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
2104 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
2106 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
2107 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
2108 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
2109 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
2110 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
2111 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
2112 * Fixed a manpage typo.
2113 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
2114 dgit rather than system one.
2115 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
2117 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
2118 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
2119 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
2120 used by default for any distro.
2121 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
2122 the push of the suite branch ref.
2123 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
2124 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

2130 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
2131 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
2132 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
2133 with all the building methods.
2134 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
2135 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
2137 Error message improvements:
2138 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
2139 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
2140 in the error message, to be its child.
2141 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
2143 Better workflow flexibility:
2144 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
2145 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
2147 Support for Debian backports suites:
2148 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
2149 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
2150 * Use correct default archive location.
2151 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
2154 Packaging improvement:
2155 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
2156 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
2157 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

2190 * Depend on curl | wget, as dget needs one of those. (The dput package,

2196 dgit (0.18) unstable; urgency=low
2199 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
2201 Improved behaviours:
2202 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
2203 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
2204 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
2205 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2206 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2207 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
2208 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
2209 Distribution field as the suite.
2210 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
2213 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
2214 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
2217 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
2218 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2219 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
2220 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
2222 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
2223 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
2224 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
2226 Documentation and message fixes:
2227 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
2228 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
2229 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
2230 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
2231 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
2232 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
2235 Internal and debugging improvements:
2236 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
2237 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.
2238 * Some code motion and cleanups.

2253 * Do not grobble around in .git/refs/; instead, use git-show-ref.

2262 in the build tree (e.g., build products and logs). Closes: #727053.
2263 * Set autoflush on stdout, to get better ordering of debugging
2264 etc. output when stdout is redirected.
2265 * New --damp-run mode, for more convenient and fuller testing etc.

2271 * Better handling of packages pushed using dgit and stuck in NEW.
2272 (And, use of `--new' is not needed with fetch.) Closes: #722199.
2273 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.
2274 * Implement `dgit help' as well as `--help'. Closes: #721661.
2275 * Provide `dgit version' and `--version'. Closes: #721654.

2283 * Add Vcs-Git and Vcs-Browser [Richard Hartmann]. Closes: #721404.
2284 These fields refer to the development branch, "master", on alioth,
2285 not to the dgit suite refs (which are not accessible to git clone).

2291 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
2292 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
2293 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
2294 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2295 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2296 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2297 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2298 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2300 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2301 --dry-run often not work at all.
2302 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2304 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
2305 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
2306 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

2315 * New --ignore-dirty option to skip noncritical check. Closes: #720895.

2323 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
2324 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
2326 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2328 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2329 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2330 exactly to the top git commit.
2331 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2332 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2333 and can also have more skew.)
2334 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2335 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2336 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2337 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2338 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2339 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2340 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2341 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2342 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2343 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.

2359 * Change our .dsc field name to `Dgit'. Relevant to #720201.
2360 * Fix bug handling our synthetic merges when we see them in
2361 the remote suite branch.
2362 * `3.0 (quilt)' fixup creates .pc/applied-patches since modern
2363 dpkg-source creates it even though old ones didn't always.

2383 * Manpage formatting fix.
2384 * Name the local remote tracking branch remotes/dgit/dgit/<suite>

2407 * Support dgit-distro.<distro>.keyid config option.
2408 * Revert change to ssh to alioth CNAME, as the recommended CNAME
2409 is to something with no write access to the fs and the new CNAME
2410 has not yet been set up. This reintroduces #720172 :-/.
