Well, I have fixed bug which was just in the error handling. The
message you should have received is this:
git-debrebase: error: upstream (upstream/1.22.1) and HEAD are not
git-debrebase: identical in upstream files. See diffstat above, or run
git-debrebase: git diff 0030fffefd69db302f302c3494a08f192609b2a2 HEAD --
:!/debian :/
Doing that git-diff rune shows that you have made changes to the
toplevel .gitignore which are not in any patch.
I'm not sure whether git-debrebase convert-from-gbp should
automatically turn your .gitignore changes into a delta queue commit.
What do people think ?
Ian.
