Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.9.37 Severity: normal Tags: patch X-Debbugs-Cc: Otto Kekäläinen <o...@debian.org>, sre4e...@free.fr
Dear Maintainers, Could you please change `gbp clone` defaults to NOT run `gbp setup- gitattributes` by default? This is related to the issues reported in [1]. Blindly disabling .gitattributes is likely to break things that would otherwise be perfectly working such as the cases reported above. It might cause wrong encodings or line endings to end up in input data for test cases (and make them fail), or in scripts intended for other operating systems. It should really be reserved to the rare cases where upstream .gitattributes configuration make packaging work difficult or impossible, and even then it has caveats. A link to a MR to implement this change will follow.
