For debcheckout to work properly, you want to specify a branch. > If a branch, which branch, and should its content at the tip represent > the last uploaded version or is it allowed to be ahead of, behind, or > even unrelated to that?

Also, for a Git repository, what do you do if the Debian packaging isn't on the master branch? For example, for packages for which I'm also upstream, I do upstream development on the master branch and Debian packaging on a separate debian branch. I've always found the Vcs-* headers a bit underspecified, or at least limited. (I'm fairly sure the answer to my question is that debcheckout, which is the only real consumer of the Vcs-* headers that I know of other than statistical analysis of types of repositories, just can't handle that case at all.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-policy-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
