Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.5.10 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/git-buildpackage
Primary reason: I would like to co-maintain some packages, packaging of which is kept under SVN with mergeWithUpstream flag. Sure thing I would like to use GIT and git-buildpackage ;) Ideally I should be able to go with *.orig.tar.gz and debian/ (under git), the same way as svn-buildpackage does. Unfortunately it is not supported (or broken) as of now in gbp. In both scenarios -- I have no upstream/ branch at all, or just empty upstream/ branch -- target build directory lacks any upstream sources (and there is a scream from dpkg-source I guess about deletion of all upstream files). I have tried to google up either it was ever suggested or implemented, but only found "is not supported", or statement that it works [1], which is, unfortunately, not true (per described above).
