Source: git-buildpackage
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Dear Maintainer,
I noticed that checking out a tag wouldn't let me use gbp buildpackage.
I checked the manual and tried --git-ignore-branch, which allowed me to
build.
The error message comes from the get_branch function, and informs me
that I am not currently on a branch. I figure this could be more
informative, so it now outputs "Use --git-ignore-branch to ignore"
as well.
Should this provide even more info?
Thank you,
Jonathan
