Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.9.28
Severity: wishlist

Dear Maintainer,

the docs (wrongly) mention that one can pass an empty string for the 
debian-branch,
but apparently this functionality was dropped without updating the 
documentation.

>From `man gbp-push`:

       --debian-branch=branch_name
              The  branch  in  the Git repository the Debian package is being 
developed on. If set to
              the empty value the branch will not be pushed.

Trying it:

> $ gbp push --debian-branch='' salsa_rw
gbp:error: You are not on branch '' but on 'debian/master'
gbp:error: Use --ignore-branch to ignore or --debian-branch to set the branch 
name.

> $ gbp push --debian-branch= salsa_rw
gbp:error: You are not on branch '' but on 'debian/master'
gbp:error: Use --ignore-branch to ignore or --debian-branch to set the branch 
name.


Thanks for maintaing git-buildpackage!
