The aproach is basically correct we could only check for upper level directories too - as git itself does. The important part is that we need to fix all tools at once. Patches are welcome. I use gbp with svn like this: http://honk.sigxcpu.org/con/Using_git_svn_and_git_buildpackage_to_build_packages_maintained_in_Subversion.html If --trunk, --tags and --branches are used correctly you should end up with .git in the toplevel directory of the repo and you don't run into these issues.
