Package: devscripts
Version: 2.10.43
Severity: wishlist
I have a shared git repository with upstream. Upstream uses master to track
his current development and releases and some other branches for current work.
I got the branch debian(.*) and pristine-tar where I can do all my work for
debian. Now I wanted to specify VCS-Git in my debian/control file to give the
user an easy way to checkout sources of my packages and create small fixes
against my current development. The problem is that there seems to be no way
to say that debcheckout should checkout my debian branch instead of upstreams
master branch (which is specified in the master repository's HEAD which I
cannot change of course). Someone in debian-mentors suggested to use something
like git://git.myserver.de/test.git#branchname but that doesn't seem to work
with debcheckout nor git-clone to create branchname as my default branch.
