     has been changed recently and now this default setting is very awkward
     to change for the dgit user.
 

+  Major new feature:
+  * --quilt=gbp, --quilt=dpm, --quilt=unpacked: Introduce facility for
+    split view (dgit/mainiainer view), to improve compatibility with some
+    other workflow tools.
+
+  New checks and improved behaviours:
+  * 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.
+  * Make --quilt=gbp the default for dgit gbp-build.
+  * New tag format (for dgit view) archive/debian/VERSION.
+  * Before committing to push, check that .dsc and .changes correspond.
+    Closes:#800060.
+
+  Infrastructure:
+  * Better error handling in dgit-repos-policy-debian.
+  * dgit-repos-policy-debian.: fix git-cat-file-handling with multiple
+    taints in db (!).
+
+  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 up .orig detection to be less trustful of (ambiguous) filenames.
+  * Fix up .orig detection to correctly allow exactly the right
+    .orig-comp components accorging to dpkg-source(1).
+  * Fix up .orig detection to handle .asc's (and other signatures)
+    of .orig components the same way as their tarballs.
+  * 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.  Closes:#827892.
+

   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
+    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.
