Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.4.59
Severity: wishlist

A pretty common workflow is the following:

1- Work on the package
2- Upload
3- Import new upstream version
4- Create changelog entry for local testing
5- Some more work
6- Upload

This works like a charm with --auto. However, when steps 3 and 5 are in
another order (eg, you fixed something and then updated the new upstream
version), git-dch misses all the entries from before the new changelog
entry. A way to pick up all the changes since the last released version
would be gratly appreciated.
I'm thinking this can be done by making git-dch ignore changelog
versions marked as UNRELEASED to guess the version (and thus having to
use -s), but that would mean having to parse debian/changelog instead of
using dpkg-parsechangelog.
