Package: git-debrebase Version: 6.6 Severity: normal Where patches have DEP-3 header fields that cannot be directly included in git metadata, such as Origin, Forwarded, and Bug-Debian, they don't seem to be reliably included in git commits.
For a real example, compare branches use-dgit (patch queue) and use-dgit-broken (converted) of <https://salsa.debian.org/benh/linux.git>. Patch debian/powerpcspe-omit-uimage.patch has: Description: Prevent building uImage with missing mkimage On some powerpc platforms, CONFIG_DEFAULT_UIMAGE is selected automatically, which leads to uImage being built automatically with mkimage. This tool is not available in linux's build-dependencies, and the file is not strictly necessary, so we are omitting this step in the build process, Debian-specific. Author: Roland Stigge <sti...@antcom.de> Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/708094 Forwarded: not-needed and the Bug-Debian and Forwarded fields are included in commit 59bf920cddd60a767f0647b07ac4eea5904c35c1a. Whereas patch bugfix/all/usbip-fix-misuse-of-strncpy.patch has: From: Ben Hutchings <b...@decadent.org.uk> Date: Fri, 20 Jul 2018 01:30:24 +0100 Subject: usbip: Fix misuse of strncpy() Bug-Debian: https://bugs.debian.org/897802 and the Bug-Debian field is not included in commit abd4e2a8668e7c52a565d15bc8ce71d4b4780122. It looks as if when the body of the commit message comes mostly from a Description field placed before the non-git headers, they are added at the end of the body. But if the body of the commit comes from free text below the patch headers, they are not included (perhaps they are overwritten?).
