Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.8.16 Severity: normal Control: block 864873 by -1
Dear maintainer, In the gbp docs, the section "Converting an existing Git repository" recommends using `git checkout --orphan upstream` to create an empty upstream branch, for the case of a repository that does not yet have upstream sources on a branch. However, back on the master branch, `gbp import-orig` fails because git refuses to merge unrelated histories without --allow-unrelated-histories. I believe that gbp should pass this option to git in this case. Thanks. -- System Information: Debian Release: 9.0 APT prefers testing APT policy: (900, 'testing') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 4.9.0-3-686-pae (SMP w/2 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_GB.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE=en_GB.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.17.5 ii git 1:2.11.0-3 ii man-db 2.7.6.1-2 ii python 2.7.13-2 ii python-dateutil 2.5.3-2 ii python-pkg-resources 33.1.1-1 ii python-six 1.10.0-3 Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii pbuilder 0.228.7 ii pristine-tar 1.38 ii python-requests 2.12.4-1 ii sbuild 0.73.0-4 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: ii python-notify 0.1.1-4 ii sudo 1.8.19p1-2 ii unzip 6.0-21 -- no debconf information -- Sean Whitton
