P.S. I think I've finally gotten the hang of pushing tags disconnected from a branch. eg: 1. create local bpo development branch 2. prepare backport 3. tag bpo 4. git push origin tag_name
And the reason I made those mistakes with the audacious bpo is because I understood "not on a branch" to mean not on a local branch, rather than not on a remote branch. If you would confirm that I did it correctly, then in the future I can push bpos without a (remote) jessie-backports branch. https://github.com/sten0/libva-test/blob/debian/1.7.1-1_bpo8%2B1/debian/changelog Thanks!
