Ah, yes, I presume that would work. Does that merge the dgit history of the package from the unstable branch into the history in the way that dgit-maint-native implies is supposed to happen? Or by "be a descendent of unstable" do you mean a descendent of the dgit unstable repository? > In light of what I wrote above, the suggestion would be to have > --deliberately-not-fast-forward be implicit for --new uploads to > experimental where HEAD is a descendent of dgit/dgit/sid? I think the missing piece may be how the naive new user like myself, who is currently told to just do dgit push --overwrite, should create the appropriate merge so that this condition is true of my existing repository. (I know enough Git that I could probably fumble my way through, but dgit should probably do it for me somehow.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/>
