238 New tools for a "git-push-to-upload" workflow [Ian Jackson & Sean Whitton]:
239 * New script in a new binary package: git-debpush.
240 The new binary package is small, but
241 + git-debpush needs to be in src:dgit, because its test suite is the
242 dgit test suite; however,
243 + git-debpush is functionally and conceptually independent of dgit,
244 so should not go into bin:dgit; in particular
245 + git-debpush's dependencies are quite different to the other
247 * New dgit-infrastructure subcommand, tag2upload, to process tags made
249 Please see git-debpush(1) for a sketch of the workflow.
252 * Allow the -p option to be used with various push modes.
253 * Include dgit tag metadata in maintainer view tags.
254 For consistency with, and use by, git-debpush.
255 * Include quilt metadata in the archive/ (dgit view) tag.
256 * rpush protocol: Version 6, which includes split brain information
257 for maintainer view tags. And, actually use newer version
258 (was broken in 9.0, which would prefer to select 4 not 5).
259 * Add some missing blank lines to tag messages.
260 * Some other refactoring.
263 * dgit(1): fix a reference in the description of --quilt=auto [Sean

273 * Provide a stunt sendmail and a stunt dgit.

284 dgit - low-impact incompatible change:
285 * Drop support for, and testing of, dgit versions which use old tag name
286 (debian/V; now that is maintainer view and dgit is archive/debian/V).
287 The new tags came in in dgit 2.0 in October 2016. No version of dgit
288 without them was in any Debian release. We don't expect there are any
289 sites using old servers which do not support the new format, or anyone
290 using a dgit client older than 2.x who cannot upgrade.
292 git-debrebase fixes [Niko Tyni]:
293 * Fix `git-debrebase convert-from-dgit-view <upstream>', which
294 would crash due to an argument parser bug. Closes:#930214.
295 * git-debrebase(1): typo fix. Closes:#930215.
297 dgit - new capabilities:
298 * Support split view with native packages, and with all quilt modes.
299 Now we distinguish "split view" (meaning separate dgit branch) from
300 "splitting quilt modes" (eg --quilt-unapplied).
301 [Prompted in part by enquiries from Sam Hartman] Closes:#926640.
302 * Support for bare debian/ directory (aka packaging-only) git branches
303 Ie, --quilt=baredebian[+tarball]. [Thanks for info from Shengjing
304 Zhu, and docs and UI contributions/review from Sean Whitton.]
305 Closes:#903392. Closes:#931253.
308 * Fix --dgit-view-save option alias, which never worked.
309 (--save-dgit-view worked, and still does, though.)
310 * i18n: Do not translate import commit messages.
312 dgit - other documentation improvements [Sean Whitton]:
313 * Expand on description of --include-dirty. New text may help
314 user avoid unexpected file deletion. Closes:#930922.

316 * dgit-maint-*(7): Using untagged upstream commits. Closes:#930964.
318 dgit - minor consequences of these other changes:
319 * Actually properly reject invalid quilt modes found in git config.
320 (Previously they might be accepted and then cause malfunctions.)
321 * Reject split brain quilt modes with single-debian-patch.
322 (Previously this would malfunction; now we reject it.)
323 * i18n: Add translator notes about ASCII art changes display.
324 * Drop "dgit view: changes are required..." message.
325 * Some other minor changes to quilt fixup error handling.
326 * Changes to debugging output related to quilt modes and split view.
327 * Introduce rpush protocol version 5. Minimum version is now 4.
328 * Considerable internal rearrangement of quilt fixup code.
329 * Considerable test suite work including new tests.

376 dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
377 * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
378 Closes:#904862. This option was only recently added to
379 pbuilder. For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
380 `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
381 * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
382 source in dgit's private directory. Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
383 or dgit build-source. dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
384 dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
385 occasional lossage. The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
386 --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa). Closes:#914317.
388 dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
389 * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
390 as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1). Closes:#916926.
391 * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
392 * clone: Create destination directory before using network.

452 dgit - Behavioural change with compatibility implications:
453 * Check (with --clean=dpkg-source[-d], ie, by default) that rules
454 clean does not leave untracked files (ie, trip if it looks like
455 a `git add' may have been forgotten). dgit will now fail in
456 some situations where previously it would have just carried on.
457 * Honour new clean modes --dpkg-source[-d],no-check aka -wdn / -wddn
458 which suppress this check. (Whether the untracked files are
459 used or disregarded depends on --include-dirty.)
460 * Honour new .clean-mode-newer access config option, to allow git
461 configs to be compatible with both new and old dgits.
462 See relevant parts of dgit(1) for more information.
464 dgit - Improved behaviours:
465 * Better handling of cross-filesystem operations, including
466 build-products-dir on a different fs. Closes:#910730.
467 * Change to git toplevel dir before starting. Closes:#910724.
468 * Provide --clean=check,ignores aka -wci.
469 * Provide --clean=dpkg-source[-d],all-check aka -wda / -wdda.
471 dgit - Important bugfixes:
472 * Check that tree does not contain untracked files (depending on clean
473 mode) when building source using git branch rather than using working
474 tree. In particular, honour --clean=check. Closes:#910705.
475 * Also apply that new cleanliness check during build-source or
476 push-source etc. with --clean=dpkg-source; even though rules
477 clean was not run. See above. Again, -wdn / -wddn may be needed.
478 * dgit: Forbid source building with --include-dirty and non-.. bpd,
479 which can seriously malfunction. Closes:#910725; see #910740.
481 dgit - Additional sanity checks:
482 * quilt linearisation: Stop at debian/source/format changes.

485 * Refuse to work if critical files have uncommitted changes.
486 * Reject all git config options containing newlines.
487 * Better error message for not in git tree. (For git-debrebase too.)
489 dgit - Minor bugfixes:
490 * Fix spelling errors etc. in messages.
491 * Replace mention of alioth by salsa in a message.
492 * clean_tree: confess rather than die on unknown clean mode.
493 * Add missing \n to crash from git_cat_file. (git-debrebase too.)
496 * dgit(1): Document that cleaning is sometimes not needed and
497 is therefore not done.
498 * README.md: Add this document for the benefit of Salsa.
499 * po/README: Mention -k10 threshold.
500 * po/README: Give a pointer to salsa; remind the translator to commit.

1040 * In quilt_fixup_multipatch, work around git checkout paths
1041 not deleting files. (Hypothetical bug AFAIAA.)
1042 * Respect --quilt=nofix even if single-debian-patch.
1045 * "confess" when we die due to a warning, rather than symply dieing.

1078 * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
1080 New features [Sean Whitton]:
1081 * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
1082 * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
1083 subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
1084 directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
1085 doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
1086 <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
1088 Documentation improvements:
1089 * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.

1095 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
1098 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
1099 specially. Closes:#886442.
1100 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
1101 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
1102 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
1103 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
1104 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
1105 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
1108 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
1109 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
1112 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
1113 won't try to run it).
1114 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
1115 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
1116 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
1117 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

1135 Important improvements to dgit:

1138 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
1139 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
1140 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
1141 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
1143 Other improvements to dgit:
1144 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
1145 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
1146 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
1149 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
1150 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
1151 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
1152 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
1155 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
1158 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
1159 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
1162 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
1163 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
1164 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
1165 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
1167 * Other tests for new features.

1582 on a patch during .dsc import. Apropos of #848391.

1623 * Support the Debian *-security suites.
1624 * New comma-separated multiple-suite merging facility (readonly),
1625 so that users can easily track "jessie, or jessie-security".
1626 * dgit-user(7): Suggest `dgit clone P jessie,-security'.
1629 * Cope when an orig tarball is a tarbomb. Ie, if it contains
1630 other than one single directory toplevel. Closes:#843422.
1631 * Actually honour the branch name, if we are on dgit branch, to specify
1632 the suite, as documented in the manpage.
1633 * When cloning a distro which has no git server, correctly leave
1634 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.
1635 * Fix an unconditional print that was supposed to be a printdebug:
1636 origs <blah>.orig.tar.gz f.same=1 #f._differ=-1

1651 * New import-dsc feature.
1652 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
1653 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
1654 is left somewhere useful.
1655 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.
1656 This makes it less likely that the user will trip over any
1657 timestamp-dependent FTBFS bugs (eg #842452).

1661 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1663 Documentation improvements:
1664 * dgit-*(7). Many new tutorial manpages, several written and many
1665 improved by Sean Whitton.

1667 * dgit(1): Better cross-references.
1668 * dgit(1): Remove obsolete workflow information.
1669 * dgit(1): Improved BUGS section.
1670 * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
1674 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
1675 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
1677 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1678 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
1680 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
1681 like testing. Closes:#842621.

1735 * dgit-maint-merge(7): New tutorial manpage from Sean Whitton.

1751 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1752 but not be refreshed even by a build.

1755 on their own gbp configuration to specify the right check.

1796 Incompatible change:
1797 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1798 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1799 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1800 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1801 to change for the dgit user.
1802 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1803 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1806 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1807 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1810 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1811 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1812 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1813 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1814 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1815 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1816 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1818 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1819 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1821 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1822 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1823 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1824 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1825 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1826 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1827 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1828 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1829 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1830 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1831 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1832 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1833 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1834 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1835 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1836 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1837 from dgit about what it was doing.
1838 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1840 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1841 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1843 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1844 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

1852 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1853 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and

1860 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1861 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1862 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1865 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1866 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1867 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1868 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1869 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1870 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1871 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1872 messages. Closes:#800078.

1883 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1884 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1885 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.

1887 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1888 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1889 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1890 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1891 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1892 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1895 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1896 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1897 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1898 Cosmetic change only.
1899 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1900 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1901 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1902 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.

1904 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1905 to rollback and release the lock.
1906 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.

1908 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1909 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1911 * Provide better log output for certain failures.

2087 * Switch to new production git repositories for reading.

2092 * Provide -wc aka --clean=check.
2095 * Remove some obsolete caveats from BUGS.
2096 * Reorganise and complete the configuration section.
2097 * Remove obselete comment about DMs not being able to push.
2098 We have, for now, a way to add keys manually. Closes:#720173.
2101 * Remove configuration relating to alioth.
2102 * Provide for different access mechanisms when pushing.
2103 * Provide for configurable git url suffix.
2104 * Allow git-url to be '' to force fallback to git-proto etc.
2105 * Provide for checking git presence via http[s].
2106 * Do some quoting on debug output (needed if the server might not
2107 be trustworthy and might send us bad stuff).
2108 * Talk to push.dgit.debian.org, rather than the .debian.net alias.
2111 * Provide for mirroring git updates to a different server.
2112 * Provide cgit-regen-config command for cgi-grnet-01.
2113 * Make dgit-ssh-dispatch not spew (harmless) warnings if caller
2114 tries for a shell session (ie SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND not set).
2117 * Remove an obsolete comment from the code.
2118 * Improve an error message from dgit-repos-policy-debian.

2124 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
2126 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
2128 * Client uses new infrastructure:
2129 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
2130 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
2132 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
2135 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
2136 packages. Closes:#764606.
2137 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
2138 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
2139 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
2140 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
2142 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
2144 Other significant improvements:
2146 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
2147 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
2149 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
2150 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
2151 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
2153 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
2154 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
2156 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
2158 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
2159 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
2160 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
2162 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
2166 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
2167 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
2168 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
2169 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
2174 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
2175 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
2176 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
2177 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
2178 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
2179 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
2181 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
2182 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
2184 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
2186 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
2187 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
2188 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
2189 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
2191 Documentation improvements:
2193 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
2194 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
2195 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
2196 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
2197 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
2198 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
2199 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
2201 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
2203 Behind-the-scenes work:
2205 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
2206 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
2207 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
2208 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
2209 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
2210 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
2211 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
2212 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
2213 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
2214 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
2216 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
2217 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

2225 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

2234 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
2236 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
2237 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
2238 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
2240 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
2241 re-retreive the .dsc.
2242 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
2243 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
2244 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
2245 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
2246 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
2247 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
2250 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
2251 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
2252 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
2254 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
2255 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
2256 message instead. Closes:#736526.
2257 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
2258 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
2259 host. Closes:#736529.
2260 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
2261 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
2262 regression test scripts to use.
2263 * Print better message for unknown operations.
2264 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
2265 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
2266 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
2268 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
2269 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
2270 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
2271 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
2272 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
2273 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
2274 * Fixed a manpage typo.
2275 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
2276 dgit rather than system one.
2277 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
2279 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
2280 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
2281 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
2282 used by default for any distro.
2283 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
2284 the push of the suite branch ref.
2285 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
2286 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

2292 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
2293 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
2294 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
2295 with all the building methods.
2296 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
2297 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
2299 Error message improvements:
2300 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
2301 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
2302 in the error message, to be its child.
2303 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
2305 Better workflow flexibility:
2306 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
2307 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
2309 Support for Debian backports suites:
2310 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
2311 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
2312 * Use correct default archive location.
2313 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
2316 Packaging improvement:
2317 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
2318 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
2319 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

2361 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
2363 Improved behaviours:
2364 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
2365 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
2366 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
2367 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
2368 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
2369 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
2370 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
2371 Distribution field as the suite.
2372 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
2375 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
2376 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
2379 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
2380 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
2381 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
2382 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
2384 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
2385 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
2386 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
2388 Documentation and message fixes:
2389 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
2390 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
2391 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
2392 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
2393 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
2394 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
2397 Internal and debugging improvements:
2398 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
2399 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.

2456 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
2457 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
2458 * Remove scary warning from Description.
2459 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
2460 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
2462 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
2463 --dry-run often not work at all.
2464 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
2466 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.

2488 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
2490 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
2491 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
2492 exactly to the top git commit.
2493 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
2494 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
2495 and can also have more skew.)
2496 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
2497 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
2498 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
2499 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
2500 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
2501 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
2502 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
2503 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
2504 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
2505 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
