I've found that using dpkg-source format 3.0(quilt) inside a git tree can be really annoying (do you commit the tree with patches applied or unapplied? [unapplied works better for *my* workflow] either way, the tree will be dirty for git at annoying times), BUT it helps a DAMN GREAT DEAL to keep quilt in check, enough that I do it for every package I take care of. And "git clean -x -d -f ; git reset --hard" is a *MUCH* faster way to clean up messes when a patch fails to apply and doesn't revert, than anything I've ever used before. It is also much faster than debclean. Note: it will kill any non-git-commited changes. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
