But dgit cannot just use the history found there, because that history may not be (probably won't be) in the right format. > It seems to me that pushing to that dgit repo would create a dupe, and > worse, ignore the existing package's history... It does ignore any history of the package which is not "dgit history". I will take this bug report as a request to improve the documentation, and to provide a default remote name from the vcs-git field.
