Dear GBP Maintainer(s), it would be nice, if "gbp pull" would also fetch git notes. They're in no branch, you need to fetch "refs/notes/commits". Background is that there's a feature request with patch by Niko Tyni open against git-debcherry (from the gitpkg package) which makes it use git notes. See https://bugs.debian.org/784159 for details about that. Another reason to support pulling git notes is https://bugs.debian.org/636482 (git-buildpackage: Please support git note for changelog generation) by Alexander Wirt which will be less useful without support for getting those notes from the remote repository. We (the Debian Perl Team) recently pushed a change to "dpt push" (which is in the package pkg-perl-tools and kind of the opposite of "gbp pull") to support git notes when pushing: http://deb.li/3is24 Thanks in advance for considering. -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (990, 'unstable'), (600, 'testing'), (111, 'buildd-unstable'), (111, 'buildd-experimental'), (110, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 3.19.0-trunk-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=C.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=C.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.15.4 ii git 1:2.1.4-2.1 ii man-db 2.7.0.2-5 ii python 2.7.9-1 ii python-dateutil 2.2-2 ii python-pkg-resources 16.0-2 ii python-six 1.9.0-3 Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii cowbuilder 0.73 ii pristine-tar 1.33 ii python-requests 2.4.3-6 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: ii python-notify 0.1.1-4 ii unzip 6.0-17 -- no debconf information -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
