Excellent. I've been playing around with git-dpm (as described over in debian-python@) and it does a lot of nice things. There are a few glitches IMHO, but nothing insurmountable. It mostly handles the conversions between git and quilt pretty nicely - so far. OTOH, I'm philosophically aligned with the goals of dgit, i.e. having the vcs branch exactly mirror what's in the archive. >Personally, I think this is a waste of time. git's UI is appalling >but it is by far the most capable VCS in existence.

I'm hoping there will be discussions regarding vcs at Debconf (I will be there), especially among the DPMT for planning on a transition from svn to git. Cheers, -Barry
