Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.4.26
Severity: wishlist

When checking in the first tarball ever in the history of a package
(which is now properly supported by git-import-orig), it might happen
that people checkin files matching foo-x.y.z.tar.gz, i.e. before they
get renamed to foo_x.y.z.orig.tar.gz.

In such cases invoking "git-buildpackage --pristine-tar" will then fail
complaining that foo_x.y.z.orig.tar.gz. While this is correct, it would
be nice to support this scenario transparently.

My current workaround for this problem is to do "pristine-tar checkout
foo-x.y.z.tar.gz" / rename / "pristine-tar commit
foo_x.y.z.orig.tar.gz".


Many thanks for git-buildpackage!
