+
+ New features:
+ * During push, automatically calculate which .origs are required,
+ so user never needs [--ch:]-sa or [--ch:]-sd. Closes:#829116.
+ * New import-dsc feature.
+ * New option --dgit-view-save= for split view quilt modes.
+ In particular, means that the output of a split view quilt-fixup
+ is left somewhere useful.
+ * dgit clone: Set timestamps in cloned tree to a single unified time.
+ This makes it less likely that the user will trip over any
+ timestamp-dependent FTBFS bugs (eg #842452).
+ * Support dgit --delayed= push (with a warning in the manpage
+ about possible skew).
+ * dgit gbp-build will arrange to let gbp buildpackage generate
+ .orig tarballs if it seems applicable. Closes:#841094.
+
+ Documentation improvements:
+ * dgit-*(7). Many new tutorial manpages, several written and many
+ improved by Sean Whitton.
+ * dgit(7): Substantial updates, including documenting split view.
+ * dgit(1): Better cross-references.
+ * dgit(1): Remove obsolete workflow information.
+ * dgit(1): Improved BUGS section.
+ * Fix changelog entry for SIGPIPE to correctly mention
+ Closes:#841090.
+
+ Bugfixes:
+ * Split brain mode: Fix --new. Closes:#842577.
+ * Properly look for .origs etc. in .., fetching them less often.
+ Closes:#842386.
+ * Reject `dgit pull' in split view quilt modes, to avoid
+ creating unfortunate wreckage on non-dgit-view branches.
+ Closes:#842608.
+ * Cope when cloning suite which doesn't receive uploads,
+ like testing. Closes:#842621.
+ * Properly fetch all archive dgit view tags, as we intended.
+ * Actually provide a -p (--package=) option (!)
+
+ Test suite fixes:
+ * Test suite: Explicitly configure user.name and user.email, so
+ that tests work when environment doesn't have defaults.
+ Closes:#842279 (I hope).

+
+ Absurd bugfix for serious bug:
+ * Work around `git-apply' problems (eg #841865, #829067) exposed by
+ `gbp pq import' (#841866) by sometimes falling back to an emulation of
+ git-apply in terms of dpkg-source --before-build. Closes:#841867.
+
+ Minor changes:
+ * dgit(1): Reorder the options, moving more important ones earlier.
+ * dgit(1): Some more info about --deliberately.
+ * Provide various --force-something options. Please don't use them.

+ * Switch to new archive/ tag format by default, even in
+ non-split-brain mode.
+ * Provide --gbp and --dpm as aliases for --quilt=gbp and --quilt=dpm.
+
+ Documentation:
+ * dgit-maint-merge(7): New tutorial manpage from Sean Whitton.

+
+ Bugfixes:
+ * split brain cache: Fix a wrong implicit reference to $_.
+ Closes:#841383.
+ * split brain cache: Make sure to write reflog entries for cache updates
+ even if the eventual tree (and therefore commit) is the same.
+ Otherwise, after updating dgit, the cache might have the right answer
+ but not be refreshed even by a build.
+ * dgit gbp-build: No longer invent a --git-debian-branch option.
+ Usually the user is a maintainer using split brain, and we should rely
+ on their own gbp configuration to specify the right check.
+ Closes:#841100.
+
+ Minor docs fix:
+ * dgit(1): Document which --ch: options are a good idea.

+
+dgit (2.0) unstable; urgency=low
+
+ Incompatible change:
+ * dgit sbuild: does not pass -A to sbuild. Consequently the default
+ build is now simply sbuild's default. With older sbuilds it was
+ possible to override dgit's -A by passing another option. But this
+ has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
+ to change for the dgit user.
+ * dgit gbp-build: Make --quilt=gbp the default. (See below.)
+ * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
+
+ Major new feature:
+ * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
+ split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
+ workflow tools.
+
+ New checks and improved behaviours in dgit:
+ * When running dpkg-buildpackage, cope if user specified -g or -G.
+ * dgit sbuild: check that the set of .changes files found is as we
+ expect, before calling mergechanges. Re:#800060.
+ * dgit sbuild: Rename the used-up .changes files to `.inmulti' to
+ avoid accidental use of the wrong one (by software, or by users).
+ * dgit sbuild: Check that the binary .changes file doesn't contain a
+ .dsc.
+ * Introduce --rm-old-changes to delete previous builds' changes files.
+ * Remove any pre-existing _source.changes file before building source,
+ as a safety check.
+ * No longer tolerate a multitude of .changes files when doing push.
+ Instead, insist on a single one. Closes:#800110.
+ * dgit sbuild no longer deletes extranious .changes files; instead
+ we rely on --rm-old-changes, or failing that, fail early.
+ * When doing quilt linearisation, treat upstream .gitignores not
+ in the toplevel the same way we treat ones in the toplevel.
+ * When automatically generating quilt patch, honour GIT_COMMITTER_DATE
+ for filename creation (makes filename deterministic in test suite).
+ * New --overwrite option, replaces need to for user to use
+ git merge -s ours. Closes:#838718.
+ * When generating quilt patches from git commits, make patches that
+ look quite like git-format-patch output (rather than strange things
+ based on an obselete interpretation of DEP-3).
+ * When generating quilt patches from git commits, honour (and strip)
+ any Gbp-Pq headers (that we understand).
+ * Several dgit-generated commits now have slightly better annotations
+ from dgit about what it was doing.
+ * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
+ Closes:#800060.
+ * Better error message if non-split-brain patch stack no longer
+ applies (due to new upstream version, or user messing with it).
+ Closes:#833025.
+ * Better error message if HEAD contains changes unrepresentable
+ by `3.0 (quilt)'. Closes:#834618.
+ * Much better error message when HEAD and .dsc do not match.
+ Closes:#809516.
+
+ Infrastructure:
+ * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Better error handling.
+ * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
+ taints in db (!).
+ * dgit-infrastructure has, and uses, its own copies of the perl modules.
+ This avoids introducing a versioned dependency between dgit and
+ dgit-infrastructure (and also makes it easier to test cross-version
+ compatibility).
+
+ Documentation:
+ * Document the dgit-distro.DISTRO.quilt-mode config setting.
+ * Clarify the --clean= options' documentation. Closes:#800054.
+ * Discourage use of the --PROGRAM:OPTION escape hatch. (Apropos
+ of various bug reports including #800060 and #833025.)
+ * Document the expected form of HEAD for each --quilt= mode.
+
+ Bugfixes:
+ * When cleaning up after failed clone, stat the to-be-cleaned-up
+ directory before running rmtree on it. Closes:#796773.
+ * Do not call "warn" on failure of cleanup handler in END block
+ (since warn has been made fatal and aborts the cleanup chain).
+ * Print better error message (with `fail' rather than `die') if
+ `dgit clone' cannot create the destination directory.
+ * Properly substitute $changesfile in one of the `You can retry'
+ messages. Closes:#800078.
+ * Pass --ch:* and -v options to dpkg-buildpackage when building
+ source. Fixes bad Perl poetry syntax. Closes:#829121.
+ * When synthesing a commit from a .dsc from the archive, stop
+ internal git reset from printing a confusing message about HEAD.
+ * Turn off git gc in the private working areas.
+ * Do not fail to do some important quilt processing in some
+ --quilt modes.
+ * Fix two calls to chdir without proper error checking.
+ * Fix a couple of bugs in error reporting.
+ * Fix several bugs in .orig detection/recognition.
+ * Tidy up refs/dgit-fetch/ after dgit fetch (if successful).
+ * Fix handling of in-archive copies.
+ * Don't break if user has push.followTags=true. Closes:#827878.
+ * Arrange for the special dgit remote to be skipped by git fetch --all
+ etc. And no longer configure a fetch spec, since it won't work
+ anyway. Closes:#827892.
+ * Allow local git config options to override user-global ones,
+ as is proper. Closes:#835858.
+ * When generating patch filenames from titles, first transliterate
+ them (lossily) to ascii. Closes:#834807.
+
+ Test suite:
+ * When sbuild fails, do not crash due to sed not finding the log
+ file. Instead, simply tolerate the absence of the log file.
+ * Put --no-arch-all in build-modes-sbuild act, not only its real_act.
+ Cosmetic change only.
+ * Set GIT_COMMITTER_DATE and GIT_AUTHOR_DATE and increment them
+ explicitly in drs-push-rejects test. This avoids date dependencies
+ which can cause that test to fail on fast computers.
+ * Remove some spurios .debs from the example_1.0.tar.
+ * Increase sqlite_busy_timeout in debpolicy-dbretry, because old
+ zealot is very slow and we need to give the other processes time
+ to rollback and release the lock.
+ * Test quilt single-debian-patch.
+ * Provide `tartree-edit gitfetchinfo' etc. to help with comparing
+ different test case git working tree tarballs.
+ * Test dgit-repos-policy-debian with multiple (identical, as it happens)
+ existing taints.
+ * Provide better log output for certain failures.
+ * Many new tests (especially for new functionality).
+ * Add missing debhelper (>=8) to test suite's global Depends.
+ * tstunt arrangements: Fix mishandling of PERLLIB, etc.
+ * tstunt-parsechangelog: Produce Timestamp field (like official one
+ does, now).
+ * Do not fail when git requires --allow-unrelated-histories.

+dgit (1.4) unstable; urgency=high
+
+ Bugfixes:

+ ac221d67, bug released in 0.22).
+ * When running git-add in commit-quilty-patch, properly escape
+ filenames (which git-add treats as glob patterns).
+ * When running git-add in commit-quilty-patch, use -f and sometimes -A,
+ so as to avoid being broken by any .gitignore, etc.
+ * When quilt linearisation fails, print the right information in
+ the error message. (This has been broken forever.)
+ * Cope properly with `3.0 (quilt)' with single-debian-patch.
+ Closes:#796016. (Still does not work with wheezy's dpkg-source, so
+ no test case yet.)
+ * With dgit sbuild, pass our -d before the user's arguments, so that
+ the user can override it. Closes:#796019.
+
+ New checks and improved behaviours:
+ * Detect and reject git trees containing debian/source/local-options
+ or debian/source/local-patch-header.
+ * In --dry-run mode, _do_ actually run dpkg-source --commit so that we
+ actually do construct the quilt fixup commit; instead, honour
+ --dry-run by avoiding pulling it back to your HEAD.
+ * quilt-fixup checks that the git tree is clean, as for build-prep.
+
+ Documentation:
+ * In dgit(7), discuss binaries and documentation present in upstream but
+ removed by rules clean.
+

+ * Run quilt-fixup with -wgf in distropatches-reject,
+ so that we don't need build-depends.
