It was annoying me that these instructions were missing the last steps on how to switch the default branch to debian/master and delete the old branch. These steps are very important to: (a) prevent confusion on which branch to use. (b) prevent confusion on qa.debian.org, which uses the default branch to check that the git version. === cut === ssh git.debian.org cd "/git/python-modules/packages/$1.git" git symbolic-ref HEAD refs/heads/debian/master exit cd "$TMP" git push origin :master === cut === I also have a script to automate the entire conversion, and assuming the git repository is up-to-date and nobody is withholding pushes, it seems to work well. /srv/home/users/bam/convert on git.debian.org
