Source: dgit
Version: 5.2
Severity: important

I encountered an upstream's .gitignore with these lines:

    patch*
    *.patch
    *.diff

This meant that quilt fixup was not actually committed, causing
subsequent builds to fail, with a warning that gave no indication that I
should look at .gitignore.  It was not until I ran `git debrebase
make-patches` that I got some sort of pointer to .gitignore.

dgit and/or git-debrebase should do something more sensible in this sort
of case.

To reproduce the failure as I ran into it,

    repo: https://salsa.debian.org/emacsen-team/helm
    before `convert-from-gbp`:
      2719a9065dabd08b7e2f8486d1d7d0b6b43db7e8
    after `convert-from-gbp`, trying to build:
      808a90642d8e992d0524033e4a4790d064c6cb33
