I don't really have any good suggestions. I've had some weird problems with git-dpm occasionally and no real solutions. For example, it kept wanting to turn a certain git commit in the patched branch into a double quilt patch, and nothing I did seemed to work (I ended up giving up). In some of my non-team packages I've been trying to use gbp-pq more. It seems not terrible, and at least it's maintained. Is it time to consider switching? Perhaps just on a trial basis? When git-dpm works, it does work well. Cheers, -Barry
