Package: qa.debian.org Severity: normal For git repositories, vcswatch should check the configuration file debian/gbp.conf (if it exists) in the source package to determine what branch to use as its packaging branch. For example, vcswatch reports
Error: changelog package prerex does not match source vprerex
on vprerex[0] because the HEAD of the git repository specified in Vcs-Git points
to the prerex packaging instead of the vprerex packaging. However, the file
debian/gbp.conf[1] in the vprerex sources specifies that the debian-branch is
vprerex, and this is the branch vcswatch should be checking.
By checking a specific branch instead of HEAD, I suspect this would also fix
bug #784907 [2].
