That's actually true. Since patch-queue branches are the best way to deal with source format 3.0 (quilt) packages we should really make this more obvious. What I'm currently doing is to pass --debian-branch=patch-queue/debian to git-buildpackage and do the --tag-only from the debian branch itself.
So using something like --use-patch-queue which switches to the pq branch before the build and back afterwards (so the tag apears in the correct location) might be a good solution. -- Guido -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
