Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.4.55
Severity: wishlist

In situation, where the debian/changelog has already been prepared for the
new version, the import command calls dch, which bails out:

    ...
    branch 'master'
    git ['merge', 'upstream/2009.0810', '--no-summary'] []
    Merge made by recursive.
    dch ['-v', '1:2009.0810-1', 'New Upstream Version'] []
    dch: fatal error at line 978:
    New version specified (1:2009.0810-1) is less than
    the current version number (1:2009.0810-1)!  Use -b to force.
    dch returned 25
    Dch failed.
    Import of ../procmail-lib-2009.0810.tar.gz failed
    rm ['-rf', '../tmpP1evFJ'] []
    r...@jondo /srv/deb/debian/procmail-lib/procmail-lib.git cat 
lib-stebbens/proclint

SUGGESTION

In git-buildpackage, please check if VERSION heading like is already
found in debian/control and issue a not, and ski dch step. An example:

   Warning: debian/chnagelog already contains entry for 1:2009.0810-1, not 
calling dch
