Package: dgit
Version: 2.6
Severity: serious

gbp pq cannot cope with all patches that dpkg-source can, because it
uses git-apply and git-apply is not very compatible.

At the moment, this means that `dgit clone glibc' fails:

  gbp:error: Failed to apply
  
'/home/ian/junk/d/glibc/.git/dgit/unpack/glibc-2.19/debian/patches/any/submitted-nl_langinfo-static.diff':
  Error running git apply: error: dev/null: does not exist in index

I think I need to switch to using repeated dpkg-source --before-build.
This means I need to reimplement gbp pq's metadata processing
algorithm :-/.

Ian.
