Here is a second revision based on our IRC discussion. It looks for a file debian/git-patches, which it expects to have pairs of refs (well, things that git-format-patch understands). It will interoplate %DEB_VERSION%.
I also attach an example recipe file. I tried some malicious things like `halt` $(rm *) and was fine (i.e. ignored), but I'm not really an expert on shell shenanigans. Speaking of which I suppose IFS should be set before the loop reading the file.
#!/bin/sh
# export patches according to a recipe in debian/git-patches
# To use as a hook in gitpkg,
# git config gitpkg.deb-export-hook debian/export-patches.sh
# make this configable?
recipe=debian/git-patches
export GIT_DIR
if [ -n "$REPO_DIR" ]; then
GIT_DIR=$REPO_DIR/.git
