88 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.

107 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
108 is left somewhere useful.
109 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.

129 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
131 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
132 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
134 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
135 like testing. Closes:#842621.

267 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.

269 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
270 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
272 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.

275 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
276 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
277 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
278 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
279 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
280 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
281 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
282 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
283 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
284 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
285 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
286 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
287 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
288 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
289 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
290 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
291 from dgit about what it was doing.
292 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
294 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
295 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
297 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
298 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.

315 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
316 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
319 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
320 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
321 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
322 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
323 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
324 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
325 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
326 messages. Closes:#800078.
327 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
328 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.

330 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.

341 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
342 anyway. Closes:#827892.

344 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
345 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
346 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.

350 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
351 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
352 Cosmetic change only.
353 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
354 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
355 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
356 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.

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

362 different test case git working tree tarballs.
363 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)

541 * Switch to new production git repositories for reading.
542 (this can no longer divert to alioth). Public readonly access
543 now works. Closes:#791447.
544 * Memoise git config lookups (big speedup!)
545 * Provide -wdd aka --clean=dpkg-source-d. Closes:#792433.
546 * Provide -wc aka --clean=check.
549 * Remove some obsolete caveats from BUGS.
550 * Reorganise and complete the configuration section.
551 * Remove obselete comment about DMs not being able to push.
552 We have, for now, a way to add keys manually. Closes:#720173.
555 * Remove configuration relating to alioth.
556 * Provide for different access mechanisms when pushing.
557 * Provide for configurable git url suffix.
558 * Allow git-url to be '' to force fallback to git-proto etc.
559 * Provide for checking git presence via http[s].
560 * Do some quoting on debug output (needed if the server might not
561 be trustworthy and might send us bad stuff).
562 * Talk to push.dgit.debian.org, rather than the .debian.net alias.
565 * Provide for mirroring git updates to a different server.
566 * Provide cgit-regen-config command for cgi-grnet-01.
567 * Make dgit-ssh-dispatch not spew (harmless) warnings if caller
568 tries for a shell session (ie SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND not set).
571 * Remove an obsolete comment from the code.

578 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
580 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
582 * Client uses new infrastructure:
583 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
584 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
586 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
589 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
590 packages. Closes:#764606.
591 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
592 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
593 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
594 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
596 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
598 Other significant improvements:
600 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
601 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
603 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
604 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
605 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
607 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
608 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
610 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
612 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
613 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
614 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
616 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
620 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
621 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
622 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
623 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
628 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
629 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
630 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
631 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
632 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
633 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
635 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
636 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
638 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
640 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
641 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
642 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
643 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
645 Documentation improvements:
647 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
648 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
649 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
650 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
651 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
652 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
653 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
655 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
657 Behind-the-scenes work:
659 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
660 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
661 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
662 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
663 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
664 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
665 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
666 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
667 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
668 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
670 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
671 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

688 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
690 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
691 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
692 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
694 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
695 re-retreive the .dsc.
696 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
697 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
698 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
699 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
700 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
701 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
704 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
705 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
706 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
708 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
709 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
710 message instead. Closes:#736526.
711 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
712 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
713 host. Closes:#736529.
714 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
715 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
716 regression test scripts to use.
717 * Print better message for unknown operations.
718 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
719 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
720 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
722 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
723 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
724 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
725 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
726 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
727 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
728 * Fixed a manpage typo.
729 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
730 dgit rather than system one.
731 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
733 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
734 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
735 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
736 used by default for any distro.
737 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
738 the push of the suite branch ref.
739 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
740 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

746 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
747 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
748 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
749 with all the building methods.
750 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
751 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
753 Error message improvements:
754 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
755 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
756 in the error message, to be its child.
757 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
759 Better workflow flexibility:
760 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
761 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
763 Support for Debian backports suites:
764 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
765 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
766 * Use correct default archive location.
767 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
770 Packaging improvement:
771 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
772 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
773 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

815 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
818 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
819 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
820 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
821 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
822 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
823 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
824 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
825 Distribution field as the suite.
826 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
829 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
830 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
833 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
834 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
835 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
836 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
838 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
839 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
840 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
842 Documentation and message fixes:
843 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
844 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
845 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
846 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
847 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
848 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
851 Internal and debugging improvements:
852 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
853 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.

910 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
911 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
912 * Remove scary warning from Description.
913 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
914 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
916 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
917 --dry-run often not work at all.

942 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
944 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
945 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
946 exactly to the top git commit.
947 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
948 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
949 and can also have more skew.)
950 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
951 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.

954 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
955 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
956 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
957 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
958 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
959 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
