I suggest that this kind of issue could be resolved if the final output of the failed command, which is prefixed with '!', included hints such as the one that says "consult --overwrite documentation". As it stands such hints appear above this final section. dgit produces a lot of output, but there already exists a clearly designated "error summary" section. The most important hints should be moved into that section. Lines like "dgit: Wanted tag maintainer view tag (debian/0.11-5) on dgit server, but not found" are much less important and can remain in the general output. >> [1] https://spwhitton.name//blog/entry/pushsourcedropin/ > > I observe that Sean's blog post does mention the --overwrite wrinkle, > althought it doesn't say in terms that it will always be needed on the > first upload.
