Package: git-buildpackage
Severity: wishlist

Current snapshot number style workflow supported by git-buildpackage
does not fit my workflow.

I'd wish there was a option like 'git-dch --unreleased' which simply
added to the changelog an empty entry with the Debian revision
incremented by one and target set to UNRELEASED.

Then I could work as normally and not commit any snapshot commits, but
instead only generate snapshots at build time in my own build array or
as Launchpad does it. When all changes are done I'd like to run
'git-dch --release' which would remove the temporary empty entry and
replace it with the normal git-buildpackage automatic changelog entry.

For this new --unreleased option to work also the --release logic
should be updated to be compatible with it.

In addition if would be nice that import-orig would follow this same
logic and automatically open an empty changelog entry with the
imported version number so that I don't accidentally build the new
upstream with old version in an un-updated changelog.
