Thanks for your report. I hope that is fixed now in the git repository
at git://git.debian.org/git-dpm/git-dpm.git, a Debian package fixing
this will also come in the next days. (Or just add the missing -f in your
copy).

I think this was the triggering problem. Git-dpm is removing the old
debian/ directory to replace it with the new one. At this state there
exists an HEAD (and working directory) with the debian branch and an index
with the patched branch.  Then even when telling git to only process the
index it looks at the files in the working directory and is confused if
they differ. (I guess when I tested this mode I forgot to change some
files in the debian branch, so I did not get this error).

Hochachtungsvoll,
