When I started with mantaining my packages in git, that layout way not yet available. Actually, this was my major beef against git since I had been using this approach happily with svn und svn-buildpackage for years. I haven't heard that a debian/ only repository layout is possible with git-buildpackage before today. Greetings Marc -- -------------------------------------- !!
