Package: dgit
Version: 3.0
Severity: wishlist
>From the manpage:
dgit's representation of format `3.0 (quilt)' source packages
does not represent the patch stack. Currently the patch series
representation cannot round trip through the archive. Ideally
dgit would represent a quilty package with an origin commit of
some kind followed by the patch stack as a series of commits
followed by a pseudo-merge (to make the branch fast-forwarding).
This would also mean a new `dgit rebase-prep' command or some
such to turn such a fast-forwarding branch back into a rebasing
patch stack, and a `force' option to dgit push (perhaps enabled
automatically by a note left by rebase-prep) which will make the
required pseudo-merge.
To fix this would involve some detailed design analysis and a
substantial amount of code.
(Perhaps there is already some code for converting quilt packages to
and from git branches, which could be used or adapted.)
