Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.22
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

feel free to close this bug if I'm doing something conceptually wrong here...

I stumbled across the following blog post a few days ago where a pbuilder
hook is created to generate a _source.changes file for source-only uploads

http://www.corsac.net/?rub=blog&post=1579

This does work with plain pdebuild, but not with git-buildpackage
--git-pbuilder because the latter always removes the _source.changes file
after an successful binary build. Actually, it does create a source changes
file early in the process (before pbuilder), so the hook isn't even
necessary.

As far as I understood creating the source.changes during a binary build 
would be preferred to using the -S flag, because it would ensure that
the binary package can actually build before upload.

If all that is true please add an option to either keep the source.changes
file generated by git-buildpackage or at least keep it if it has been 
generated with the build hook described above.

Thanks,
Bernhard
