+ * When fetch or push wants git fetch (other than in a situation where it
+ happes to be a noop) but --dry-run was specified, fail with an
+ explanation, rather than looping with a false coplaint about git
+ fetch. Closes:#871317.

+ (eg, when used with --new). Instead, it is simply ignored, as it is
+ ignored in situations where the push is fast forward. Closes:#863576.
+
+ dgit/git-debrebase interop bugfixes:

+
+ * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.
+
+ New features [Sean Whitton]:
+ * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads. Closes:#848931
+ * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
+ subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
+ directly. This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
+ doesn't make sense when using dgit. See
+ <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.
+
+ Documentation improvements:
+ * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even). Closes:#874221.
+ * Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
+ Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath. Closes:#863361.
+ * dgit-maint-merge(7): many updates. [Sean Whitton]
+ Closes:#864873,#878433.
+ * dgit-*(7): Mention first upload trick. [Andrew Shadura,
+ Sean Whitton] Closes:#856402.
+
+ Minor fixes:
+ * When source discrepancy involves file mode changes, report them
+ specially. Closes:#886442.
+ * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
+ commitid in suggested diff rune. (HEAD is wrong.) Closes:#886443.
+ * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
+ HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit. Closes:#884646.
+ * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
+ * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]
+
+ Packaging:
+ * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
+ Debian wheezy). Closes:#877552.
+
+ Test suite:
+ * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
+ won't try to run it).
+ * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
+ retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
+ wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
+ * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,
+ introduced in 4.1.

+

+ matter for the future. Closes:#868515.
+ * Change the dpkg-source -i argument to exclude exactly the right
+ set of things. (Sadly this is not a simple rune.)
+
+ Other improvements to dgit:
+ * New print-dpkg-source-ignores option to print the big rune
+ you need to pass to dpkg-source to make it work exactly right.
+ * Properly shell-quote the --git-builder argument to gbp.
+
+ Documentation:
+ * dgit-user(7): Provide information about how to use sbuild.
+ Quite ugly due to #868527. Closes:#868526.
+ * dgit-user(7): Fixed example rune to use curl (which prints
+ to stdout, as the rune expects). [reported by Simon Tatham]
+
+ Minor improvements:
+ * Do not leave many clog-* files in .git/dgit.
+
+ Internal changes:
+ * using-these: New script to help with ad-hoc-testing.
+ * Refactoring in preparation for push-source [Sean Whitton].
+
+ Test suite:
+ * sbuild-gitish: New test case to check running sbuild from git
+ * Work around gnupg agent connection races by having our stunt
+ gpg wrapper simply try running gpg again, once, if it exits 2.
+ This does not fully suppress the bug but it does significantly reduce
+ the probability.
+ * Other tests for new features.
