100 git-debrebase, bugfixes:
101 * make-patches: Do not bail if there aren't any.
102 * scrap: works properly when it does only rebase --abort.
103 * On rebase: always save ffq-prev even if we were both stitched and
104 laundered. Closes:#905975.
106 git-debrebase, improvements:
107 * Speed: improve laundry performance by a factor of ~55:1,
108 and analysis performance by factor of ~4.2:1. Closes:#905995.
109 * prepush: this is now a silent no-op if the branch is
110 unstitched. This is more friendly.
111 * convert-from-*: Snag on patches in d/patches which are not in series,
112 because they will be deleted. Closes:#904997.
113 * Highly experimental merge resolution support, enabled only with
114 special command line option.
115 * Lots of internal changes to support merge, and other work.
116 * convert-from-*: Check whether ffq-prev or debrebase-last indicate that
117 we are already in gdr format.
118 * convert-from-*: leave debrebase-last refs to hint to everyone that
119 this is now a gdr branch.
121 git-debrebase, improved messages:
122 * Improve ffq head recording message.
123 * Better (less copious by default) debug output.

130 * Mention bad origs as possible cause of quilt fixup failure,
131 in both dgit(7) and in error messages. No longer suggest
132 --quilt=smash or dpkg-source --commit in the error message.
134 * Do not suggest --quilt modes if quilt fixup "stopped at"
135 a commit made by git-debrebase. Closes:#906197.

137 failure, when appropriate. Closes:#906199.

241 dgit (6.0) unstable; urgency=medium
243 New features [Sean Whitton]:
244 * Introduce dgit.default.build-products-dir git configuration key.
246 * Die earlier, and with a more helpful message, if the user tries to
247 include dirty changes when building a source package in split brain
250 dgit behavioural changes:
251 * dgit: Always build the source package ourselves, rather than
252 sometimes leaving that to the builder command. dgit will now
253 usually generate *_multi.changes rather than *_$arch.changes.
254 * dgit: Build source packages in a private directory, except when
255 the user passes --include-dirty [Sean Whitton].
256 - dgit push-source no longer cleans the tree [Sean Whitton].
257 * dgit: Rename --ignore-dirty to --include-dirty (leaving the old
258 name supported as a deprecated alias).
260 Test suite improvements:
261 * test suite: unset VISUAL, which interferes. Closes:#904308.
262 * Honour DGIT_SCHROOT_CHROOT to set the schroot to use for the sbuild
264 * Support tests/run-all --progressive.
265 * Drop now-obsolete *-asplit tests.
268 * apt-get method: when apt does not update release files,
269 unconditionally print hint about noatime. Closes:#851873.
270 * messages: Be a lot more friendly about NEW in particular,
271 and also add a couple of `please's. Closes:#904448.
272 * Make --build-products-dir (and the new config key) actually work.

348 - The tests now pass (most of the time, at least) in
349 current Debian unstable, whereas 5.5's fail utterly.
350 - There is still occasional lossage. So when running tests
351 in a loop (eg to test ever commit), it is still good to set

425 happes to be a noop) but --dry-run was specified, fail with an

427 fetch. Closes:#871317.

494 not deleting files. (Hypothetical bug AFAIAA.)

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

544 Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.

548 Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
551 * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
552 specially. Closes:#886442.
553 * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
554 commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
555 * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
556 HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
557 * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
558 * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
561 * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
562 Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
565 * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
566 won't try to run it).
567 * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
568 retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
569 wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
570 * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,

588 Important improvements to dgit:
589 * Support for `git worktree' worktrees. There may still be
590 bugs; the tests for this are not very comprehensive. And
591 worktrees on different filesystems may not work; that's a
592 matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
593 * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
594 set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
596 Other improvements to dgit:
597 * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
598 you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
599 * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
602 * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
603 Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
604 * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
605 to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
608 * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
611 * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
612 * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
615 * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
616 * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
617 gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
618 This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
620 * Other tests for new features.
621 * Various refactoring.

1076 * Support the Debian *-security suites.
1077 * New comma-separated multiple-suite merging facility (readonly),
1078 so that users can easily track "jessie, or jessie-security".
1079 * dgit-user(7): Suggest `dgit clone P jessie,-security'.
1082 * Cope when an orig tarball is a tarbomb. Ie, if it contains
1083 other than one single directory toplevel. Closes:#843422.
1084 * Actually honour the branch name, if we are on dgit branch, to specify
1085 the suite, as documented in the manpage.
1086 * When cloning a distro which has no git server, correctly leave
1087 the user on the local dgit branch, not on `master'.
1088 * Fix an unconditional print that was supposed to be a printdebug:
1089 origs <blah>.orig.tar.gz f.same=1 #f._differ=-1
1090 * Print a slightly better message if .git found in orig tarball(s).
1093 * Test suite: Add fakeroot and make to Test-Depends. These aren't
1094 necessarily pulled in by anything else. (dpkg-dev Recommends
1095 build-essential. But we don't actually need build-essential.)

1102 * During push, automatically calculate which .origs are required,
1103 so user never needs [--ch:]-sa or [--ch:]-sd. Closes:#829116.
1104 * New import-dsc feature.
1105 * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
1106 In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
1107 is left somewhere useful.
1108 * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.
1109 This makes it less likely that the user will trip over any
1110 timestamp-dependent FTBFS bugs (eg #842452).
1111 * Support dgit --delayed= push (with a warning in the manpage
1112 about possible skew).
1113 * dgit gbp-build will arrange to let gbp buildpackage generate
1114 .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
1116 Documentation improvements:
1117 * dgit-*(7). Many new tutorial manpages, several written and many
1118 improved by Sean Whitton.
1119 * dgit(7): Substantial updates, including documenting split view.
1120 * dgit(1): Better cross-references.
1121 * dgit(1): Remove obsolete workflow information.
1122 * dgit(1): Improved BUGS section.
1123 * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
1127 * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
1128 * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
1130 * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
1131 creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
1133 * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
1134 like testing. Closes:#842621.
1135 * Properly fetch all archive dgit view tags, as we intended.
1136 * Actually provide a -p (--package=) option (!)
1139 * Test suite: Explicitly configure user.name and user.email, so
1140 that tests work when environment doesn't have defaults.

1161 git-apply in terms of dpkg-source --before-build. Closes:#841867.

1188 * dgit-maint-merge(7): New tutorial manpage from Sean Whitton.

1204 Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
1205 but not be refreshed even by a build.
1206 * dgit gbp-build: No longer invent a --git-debian-branch option.
1207 Usually the user is a maintainer using split brain, and we should rely
1208 on their own gbp configuration to specify the right check.

1249 Incompatible change:
1250 * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
1251 build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
1252 possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
1253 has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
1254 to change for the dgit user.
1255 * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
1256 * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
1259 * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
1260 split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
1263 New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
1264 * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
1265 * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
1266 expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
1267 * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
1268 avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
1269 * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
1271 * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
1272 * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
1274 * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
1275 Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
1276 * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
1277 we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
1278 * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
1279 in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
1280 * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
1281 for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
1282 * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
1283 git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
1284 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
1285 look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
1286 based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
1287 * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
1288 any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
1289 * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
1290 from dgit about what it was doing.
1291 * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
1293 * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
1294 applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
1296 * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
1297 by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
1298 * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
1302 * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
1303 * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
1305 * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
1306 This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
1307 dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
1311 * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
1312 * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
1313 * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
1314 of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
1315 * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
1318 * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
1319 directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
1320 * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
1321 (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
1322 * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
1323 `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
1324 * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
1325 messages. Closes:#800078.
1326 * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
1327 source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
1328 * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
1329 internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
1330 * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
1331 * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
1333 * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
1334 * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
1335 * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
1336 * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
1337 * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
1338 * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
1339 * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
1340 etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
1341 anyway. Closes:#827892.
1342 * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
1343 as is proper. Closes:#835858.
1344 * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
1345 them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
1348 * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
1349 file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
1350 * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
1351 Cosmetic change only.
1352 * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
1353 explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
1354 which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
1355 * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
1356 * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
1357 zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
1358 to rollback and release the lock.
1359 * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
1360 * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
1361 different test case git working tree tarballs.
1362 * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
1364 * Provide better log output for certain failures.
1365 * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
1366 * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
1367 * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
1368 * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
1370 * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

1380 filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).

1396 --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
1397 * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.

1401 removed by rules clean.

1556 * Provide for configurable git url suffix.
1557 * Allow git-url to be '' to force fallback to git-proto etc.
1558 * Provide for checking git presence via http[s].
1559 * Do some quoting on debug output (needed if the server might not
1560 be trustworthy and might send us bad stuff).
1561 * Talk to push.dgit.debian.org, rather than the .debian.net alias.
1564 * Provide for mirroring git updates to a different server.
1565 * Provide cgit-regen-config command for cgi-grnet-01.
1566 * Make dgit-ssh-dispatch not spew (harmless) warnings if caller
1567 tries for a shell session (ie SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND not set).
1570 * Remove an obsolete comment from the code.
1571 * Improve an error message from dgit-repos-policy-debian.
1572 * Test suite: Break out t-make-hook-link.
1573 * Fix a manpage typo.

1577 dgit (0.30) unstable; urgency=high
1579 INCOMPATIBLE CHANGES:
1581 * Client uses new infrastructure:
1582 - Check for new dgit git service on dgit-git.debian.net (ie
1583 gideon.debian.org), with transition plan based on diversion feature.
1585 - Old versions of dgit will stop working when the server-side handle is
1588 * dgit git trees no longer contain .pc for format `3.0 (quilt)' source
1589 packages. Closes:#764606.
1590 - It is deleted whenever we find it.
1591 - Older versions of dgit will choke on trees without .pc.
1592 - (When doing quilt fixup, we recreate a suitable .pc in a temporary
1593 directory so that we can do dpkg-source --comit.)
1595 * All users are urged to upgrade ASAP.
1597 Other significant improvements:
1599 * When generating quilt patches, try to linearise the git history into a
1600 series of individual new patches for debian/patches. Closes:#770710.
1602 * When receiving a push with dgit-repos-server, update the server's
1603 refs/heads/master if we are pushing to what the distro regards as a
1604 relevant branch, and the push would ff master. Closes:#728209.
1606 * For non-Debian distros, distro version release tags contain distro
1607 name a la DEP-14 (rather than hardcoding `debian/').
1609 * Set up a merge driver for debian/changelog. Closes:#769291.
1611 * --clean=git and --clean=none cause dgit to pass -nc to
1612 dpkg-buildpackage, suppressing calls to the package's clean target.
1613 Also, expand the documentation in this area slightly. Closes:#768590.
1615 * Provide --clean=git-ff (aka -wgf), which is useful for dgit itself (!)
1619 * Reduce some noise output and improve the clarity of some messages.
1620 * Be more careful about tag updates during fetch: only update tags
1621 referring to uploads to distro we are trying to fetch from.
1622 * Change realpath dependency to `coreutils (>= 8.23-1~) | realpath'
1627 * Fix handling of rmadison-based and gitless distros (e.g., Ubuntu).
1628 * Add missing `gpgv' to test dependencies in debian/tests/control.
1629 * Strip `-b <branch>' from contents of Vcs-Git header, when setting up
1630 the vcs-git remote. Closes:#759374.
1631 * Do not offer wget as an alternative dependency to curl. We always
1632 unconditionally invoke curl and have no code to use wget.
1634 * Complain about lack of cuddled values for value-taking single-letter
1635 options, rather than thinking the user meat an empty value.
1637 * Reject (rather than ignoring) further options merged witth -wn, -wg,
1639 * Fix inaccurate error message when archive's git hash is not an
1640 ancestor of git repo's git hash.
1641 * Detect and bomb out on vendor-specific `3.0 (quilt)' patch series.
1642 * Fix the rules clean target to remove test results and output.
1644 Documentation improvements:
1646 * Break out dgit(7) from dgit(1).
1647 * Provide example workflow for dgit rpush. Closes:#763334.
1648 (Also part of the fix for #768470.)
1649 * Document that dgit repos are cloneable with git, in dgit(1)
1650 section MODEL. [Andreas Barth.] Closes:#768470.
1651 * Better documentation for quilt series handling.
1652 * Document under `dgit push' that it is best to build with dgit too.
1654 * Other minor clarifications and improvements.
1656 Behind-the-scenes work:
1658 * Use ftpmasterapi archive query method.
1659 (Closes:#727702. Also partly obsoletes #768470.)
1660 * New dgit-infrastructure binary package containing dgit-repos-server et
1661 al. Client users probably don't want this stuff. Also, it provides a
1662 convenient way to publish the dependencies.
1663 * Many many bugfixes to the server side (dpkg-repos-server et al.).
1664 * Add :..; prefix to ssh remote commands, for the benefit of future
1665 forced command wrappers. Implicitly, this defines a new ssh-based
1666 command protocol. Closes:#720174, #720175.
1667 * Distro access configuration handling changes (should not be noticeable
1669 * In places, significant restructuring or tidying up.
1670 * Turn all perl warnings into errors using $SIG{__WARN__}.

1674 dgit (0.22.1) unstable; urgency=high
1676 * Use Dpkg::Version::version_compare everywhere, not
1677 Dpkg::Version::version_compare_string. The latter is entirely wrong,
1678 meaning that dgit would get many version comparisons wrong.

1686 * Clone removes destination directory on error. Closes:#736153.
1687 * Work with wheezy-backports (and keep squeeze-backports working too).
1689 * Work in read-only no-git-history mode with Ubuntu. You still have
1690 to pass -dubuntu. Closes:#751781.
1691 * Use mirror.ftp-master.debian.org DNS alias rather than coccia.
1693 * Check hashes of files ourselves rather than running dget to
1694 re-retreive the .dsc.
1695 * Check SHA-256 of .dsc against hash from archive_query (ie projectb)
1696 rather than letting dpkg-source do a signature verification.
1697 Closes:#737619. Closes:#737625.
1698 * Treat .dsc as bytes, just like everything else, rather than letting
1699 HTTP::Message convert it to a Perl unicode string which the rest of
1700 the program mishandles. Closes:#738536.
1703 * Include canonicalised suite name in signed tag message.
1704 * Mention cross-version dgit rpush incompatibility in manpage.
1705 * Check for rpush protocol version incompatibility and crash early
1707 * New script tests/using-intree for running tests on the source tree.
1708 * Do not spew diff output to terminal (by default). Print sensible
1709 message instead. Closes:#736526.
1710 * Print better message for lack of configuration settings.
1711 * Document that dgit rpush needs gnupg and your public key on the build
1712 host. Closes:#736529.
1713 * Fix a manpage reference to `--dget=' where `--dgit=' was intended.
1714 * Provide t-archive-process-incoming and t-archive-query subroutines for
1715 regression test scripts to use.
1716 * Print better message for unknown operations.
1717 * Provide `dgit clean'. Closes:#736527.
1718 * When cloning, set up a remote `vcs-git' from the package's Vcs-Git
1719 (and put an appropriate caveat in the manpage). Closes:#740687.
1721 * Improve error message for .dsc having already been signed (iff
1722 using libdpkg-perl 1.17.x). Closes:#731635.
1723 * Improve error message for .dsc parsing failures more generally.
1724 * Better reporting of child exit statuses (esp. deaths due to signals).
1725 * In rpush, on protocol error talking to build host, check if the
1726 subprocess died and report differently if so. Closes:#736528.
1727 * Fixed a manpage typo.
1728 * When tests invoke dgit, use --dgit= so that subprocesses use our
1729 dgit rather than system one.
1730 * Add a test for dgit rpush.
1732 Major new feature, currently stalled awaiting server infrastructure:
1733 * dgit-repos-server: New program for receiving signed-tag-based
1734 pushes. Corresponding support in dgit itself, but not currently
1735 used by default for any distro.
1736 * Bring forward push of the version tag ref so it happens alongside
1737 the push of the suite branch ref.
1738 * New git-check and git-create methods "true" which are no-ops.
1739 * test-dummy-drs `distro': for testing dgit and dgit-repos-server.

1743 dgit (0.21) unstable; urgency=medium
1745 Bugfixes relating to unclean trees:
1746 * Run a clean (of the specified type) before any build operation; do
1747 this with `dpkg-buildpackage -T' clean if necessary, so -wd now works
1748 with all the building methods.
1749 * Refuse to do quilt fixup (explicitly requested, or as a result of
1750 build) if the tree contains ignored files. Closes:#731632.
1752 Error message improvements:
1753 * Use failedcmd to report errors when ssh psql fails. Closes:#734281.
1754 * failedcmd prints $us, not $_[0] - ie, dgit doesn't pretend,
1755 in the error message, to be its child.
1756 * Do not report the (irrelevant) $? when madison parsing fails.
1758 Better workflow flexibility:
1759 * Provide --build-products-dir option (and corresponding semantics
1760 for -C) to specify where to find the files to upload. Closes:#731633.
1762 Support for Debian backports suites:
1763 * New quirks infrastructure in configuration and internals,
1764 for suites (or perhaps distros) which are a bit like others.
1765 * Use correct default archive location.
1766 * Compute "-v" option default value correctly.
1769 Packaging improvement:
1770 * Add `Testsuite: autopkgtest' to debian/control. (This will only have
1771 the right effect with recent enought dpkg; it will generate a harmless
1772 warning with earlier versions of dpkg.)

1814 * Remote push (dgit rpush), a la debsign -r. Closes:#721185.
1816 Improved behaviours:
1817 * dgit build, by default, uses the archive to find out what the correct
1818 -v<version> option is to pass to dpkg-genchanges. Closes:#727200.
1819 * Abolish the sshdakls method and replace it with sshpsql: that is, ssh
1820 (to coccia, by default) and run sql commands on the ftpmaster
1821 database. This is faster and has fewer bugs but is vulnerable to db
1822 schema changes. Closes:#726955. Closes:#720170. Closes:#720176.
1823 * When generating git tags, quote the (uncanonicalised) changelog's
1824 Distribution field as the suite.
1825 * Command execution reports from --dry-run go to stderr.
1828 * Support --gpg=... to provide a replacement command for gpg.
1829 * Support --ssh=... and --ssh:... to affect how we run ssh.
1832 * When using sbuild, pass the arguments to mergechanges in the right
1833 order so that we use the correct Description (the _source one,
1834 not the one from sbuild which didn't get e.g. -v<version>).
1835 * push actually takes an optional suite, like it says in the synopsis.
1837 * Fix dgit --damp-run sbuild to actually work.
1838 * Fix the "shellquote" internal subroutine. The bugs in it ought not to
1839 have caused any real trouble in previous versions of dgit.
1841 Documentation and message fixes:
1842 * manpage: Clarify comments about orig tarballs. Closes: #723605.
1843 * manpage: Remove comment in BUGS about lack of policy docs
1844 for Dgit field, which is specified now. Closes:#720201.
1845 * manpage: Make discussion of --existing-package less scary. The
1846 default archive access method no longer needs it. Closes:#720171.
1847 * Mention "git merge", not "git-merge", in helpful message.
1850 Internal and debugging improvements:
1851 * Report chdir actions in debugging output.
1852 * Improvements to implementation of --dry-run and --damp-run.

1888 * More comprehensive warnings in many cases of archive skew.

1906 * Reuse already-downloaded .orig files after checking their hashes.
1907 Closes: #720526. (This introduces a dependency on Digest::SHA.)
1908 * Do not always pointlessly fetch the .dsc twice. (That code was
1909 erroneously duplicated during editing, apparently.)
1910 * Remove DGET_UNPACK from the environment in case the user has set it.
1911 * Remove scary warning from Description.
1912 * When uploading to Debian, tell dput to upload to "ftp-master". This
1913 avoids problems with derivatives whose dput has a different default.
1915 * Fix some bugs in dgit fetch --dry-run which made dgit push
1916 --dry-run often not work at all.
1917 * Update the local tracking branch for the dgit remote, when pushing.
1919 * Fix references in manpage to old Vcs-Dgit-Master field name.
1920 * Reorganise manpage sections to be in a more conventional order.
1921 * New manpage section on FILES IN THE SOURCE PACKAGE BUT NOT IN GIT.

1938 * Location of dgit-repos is now git.debian.org:/git/dgit-repos/repos.
1939 Closes: #720525. The rename on the server side will break older
1941 * Fix bug which would make quilt patch fixup fail if git status
1943 * Autogenerated quilt patch fixup patch Description contains several
1944 recent git commits, rather than implying that the patch corresponds
1945 exactly to the top git commit.
1946 * Use "ftp.debian.org" not "http.debian.net" as the default Debian
1947 archive. (http.debian.net tends to defeat certain kinds of cacheing,
1948 and can also have more skew.)
1949 * dgit build uses dpkg-buildpackage; there is a dgit git-build
1950 for using git-buildpackage. Closes: #720595.
1951 * Better error message for use of UNRELEASED suite. Closes: #720523.
1952 * Do not canonicalise suite more than once. Related to: #720526.
1953 * Fix a badly open-coded copy of check_not_dirty. Closes: #720524.
1954 * Fix some bugs in building (eg build-source would fail to do the quilt
1955 fixup; the --clean check in build was wrong).
1956 * Add missing dependency on realpath.
1957 * git-build (git-buildpackage wrapper) does not bother canonicalising
1958 the suite if --git-ignore-branch is used.
