+previous upload is recorded in new patch(es) constructed by dpkg-source.
+.SH LIMITATIONS
+Because the synthesis
+of the suite tracking branches
+is done locally based only on the current archive state,
+it will not necessarily see every upload
+not done with dgit.
+Also, different versions of dgit
+(or the software it calls)
+might import the same .dscs differently
+(although we try to minimise this).
+As a consequence, the dgit tracking views of the same
+suite, made by different instances of dgit, may vary.
+They will have the same contents, but may have different history.
+
+There is no uniform linkage between the tracking branches for
+different suites.
+The Debian infrastructure
+does not do any automatic import of uploads made without dgit.
+It would be possible for a distro's infrastructure to do this;
+in that case,
+different dgit client instances
+would see exactly the same history.
+
+There has been no bulk import of historical uploads into
+Debian's dgit infrastructure.
+To do this it would be necessary to decide whether to
+import existing vcs history
+(which might not be faithful to dgit's invariants)
+or previous non-Dgit uploads
+(which would not provide a very rich history).
