Package: dgit
Version: 1.4
Severity: normal

For example:

    hephaestus ~/src/ocrmypdf % dgit quilt-fixup
    Format `3.0 (quilt)', checking/updating patch stack
    starting quiltify (multiple patches, linear mode)
    HEAD is now at ddd62dc release
    dgit: quilt fixup cannot be linear.  Stopped at:
    dgit:  293e3b0e..4dabc96d: changed 
debian/patches/0001-patch-test-suite-executable.patch
    dgit: quilt fixup naive history linearisation failed.
    dgit: Use dpkg-source --commit by hand; or, --quilt=smash for one ugly patch

And yet:

    hephaestus ~/src/ocrmypdf % dgit --quilt=smash quilt-fixup
    Format `3.0 (quilt)', checking/updating patch stack
    starting quiltify (multiple patches, smash mode)
    HEAD is now at ddd62dc release
    dpkg-source: info: using options from work/debian/source/options: 
--extend-diff-ignore=\.git_archival\.txt
    dpkg-source: info: there are no local changes to record
    nothing quilty to commit, ok.

The user shouldn't need to specify --quilt=smash when there is no fixup
actually required.  Perhaps dgit should run a test `dpkg-source
--commit` on a temporary copy of HEAD before it goes anywhere near the
git history.

(This should probably be fixed in a patch that also fixes #833025.)
