Hello,
I've got an observation for this bug.
If ~/.config/git/config sets a default branch for new repositories other
than "master", this bug is triggered.
For instance, if I configure git to create repositories with "main" as
default branch.
# ~/.config/git/config
[init]
defaultBranch = main
With this configuration, "dgit sbuild" gives me...
