Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.8.12.2 The Debian GNOME team is discussing their svn-to-git migration. There's a concern about how the upstream/ branches will work when we temporarily maintain two branches.
For examples, let's say we have debian/unstable and debian/experimental where unstable might be 3.22.2 and experimental might be 3.23.91 at the time of the divergence. Later there is a 3.22.3 and a 3.23.92. Finally, when 3.24.1 is released, debian/experimental is merged into debian/unstable and debian/experimental is probably deleted. What do we do with the upstream branches then? How important is it that upstream imports are tagged? Would it be ok to allow import-orig to have a mode where no permanent upstream branch is used and no upstream tags are created? Thanks, Jeremy Bicha
