Package: devscripts
Version: 2.9.20
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/debcommit

lapse:..n/pkg/mdadm/mdadm.git> ls -ld .git debian/.svn
drwx------ 8 madduck madduck 4096 2006-08-12 00:29 .git/
drwx------ 6 madduck madduck 4096 2006-08-22 21:14 debian/.svn/


So mdadm upstream is maintained in git, and the debian/ directory
with SVN.

debcommit will fail in this situtation:

lapse:..n/pkg/mdadm/mdadm.git> debcommit
debcommit: unable to determine commit message using git
Try using the -m flag.


How about checking debian/ first for the VCS, and using e.g. SVN if
debian/.svn is present? The same applies for tla/baz and CVS, but
not for git and bzr. I don't know about darcs. If no VCS dir is
found in debian/, revert to current detection.

Cheers,
