Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.9.1
Severity: wishlist
I use upstream-vcs-tag to include upstream's commits in addition to
the debian packaging commits in debian packaging git history.
This works great for many parts of my workflow, thanks!
However, it causes "gbp dch" to propose incredibly verbose changelogs
when i import new versions from upstream -- the proposed changelog
entry includes all of upstream's commits as well as the debian
packaging.
But, "gbp dch" should be able to tell that upstream-vcs-tag is
available (e.g. debian/gbp.conf) and it could exclude upstream's
changes (maybe replacing them all with "New upstream release") when
generating a new debian/changelog entry.
Does that make sense as a feature request?
