Source: dgit
Version: 5.2
Severity: important
I encountered an upstream's .gitignore with these lines:
patch*
*.patch
*.diff
This meant that quilt fixup was not actually committed, causing
subsequent builds to fail, with a warning that gave no indication that I
should look at .gitignore. It was not until I ran `git debrebase
make-patches` that I got some sort of pointer to .gitignore.
dgit and/or git-debrebase should do something more sensible in this sort
of case.
To reproduce the failure as I ran into it,

before `convert-from-gbp`:
