How common? I've never seen it done that way before. I also can't see the point: if you've merged from the upstream branch the whole history is there anyway. Tracking the upstream commits via branches is not additionally expensive. I mostly see * cloned upstream repos, master corresponds to upstream, additional debian branch, debian tags 'namespaced' (e.g. debian/ prefix) * as above but master corresponds to debian and 'upstream' used to track upstream's master * tarballs imported via git-import-orig, possibly a pristine-tar branch, master corresponds to debian, 'upstream' is one-commit-per-upstream- tarball -- Jon Dowland -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
