Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.65.1 Severity: normal Tags: patch Hi there!
I was working with the StumpWM Debian Git repository <http://git.debian.org/?p =pkg-common-lisp/stumpwm.git;a=summary> and since I do not have any local copy I used debcheckout to quickly get one. I was quite surprised when I discovered that the local repository was not up- to-date with what I could see on the Debian Git website: ===== l...@gismo:~/src$ debcheckout stumpwm declared git repository at http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-common- lisp/stumpwm.git git clone http://git.debian.org/git/pkg-common-lisp/stumpwm.git stumpwm ... Initialized empty Git repository in /home/luca/src/stumpwm/.git/ l...@gismo:~/src$ cd stumpwm/ l...@gismo:~/src/stumpwm$ git log -1 commit b306f62ca6a94f17178f0e7996890809f4e4abfc Author: Luca Capello <l...@pca.it> Date: Wed Jul 23 23:02:11 2008 +0200 prepare new version l...@gismo:~/src/stumpwm$ ===== Tryng to upgrade to the latest Git commit failed, until I found that the solution is to substitute in .git/config the HTTP URL with the Git one (<git://git.debian.org/pkg-common-lisp/stumpwm.git>, slightly different from the HTTP one). Indeed, with `git clone $URL_HTTP` I get the same repository as debcheckout, while with `git clone $URL_GIT` I get the latest commit (tested on two different squeezes, i386 and am64, as well as on an amd64 chrooted sid). I guess this is a bug in Git or the way Alioth is configured, but I reported it to devscripts so the problem is known here as well. Feel free to reassign it.
