In the context of uploads that are new to a suite, it is best to think of --overwrite and --deliberately-not-fast-forward as mutually exclusive. For the first upload of policy 4.0.0.x to unstable, I'm suggesting --deliberately-not-fast-forward so that the history is a linear descendent of the upload you made to experimental today. With --overwrite, instead, the parent of HEAD would be a pseudomerge with dgit's representation of policy 3.9.8.0. Maybe you prefer this, of course. (This is a pretty confusing aspect of dgit that only became apparent after some conversations Ian had at FOSSDEM. Sorry that documentation has not caught up.) -- Sean Whitton
