Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.2.24
Severity: wishlist

Some upstreams will eventually release "a.b.c-d" versions, e.g., on
patchlevel.  This can be terribly confusing with the simple way
git-buildpackage is dealing with tags right now.

Please use different format strings to tag upstream and debian releases, as
done by cvs-buildpackage.

Actually, it would be best to just make tag format strings configurable for
all branches using a regexp=format notation, or somesuch.  That way you can
address nmu, upstream, releases, backports, etc.

Suggested defaults are:
  upstream/<foo>
  debian/<foo>

(yes, that does mean placing the tags on subdirs. cvs-buildpackage placed
these things on different namespaces for a reason!).
