Package: git-debpush
Severity: wishlist
Version: 15.9

Hi! For a changelog entry like "0~20260423-1", git-deborig currently tries to generate the orig tarball using the 0_20260423, v0_20260423, and upstream/0_20260423 tags.

The issue with this is that the "0~" prefix in the changelog is used as the upstream version number is a date, which would sort newer in the case in which upstream changes to a regular version numbering scheme.

This means that the upstream tag is actually just "20260423", without the "0_" prefix, and it needs to be manually supplied by the user to generate the tarball.

Would it make sense to special case this convention and automatically look for tags without "0_", like it's currently done with the "v" prefix?

This question has been prompted by me seeing debaudit failing the git2orig check for android-udev-rules.

Bye!
