Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.5.10
Severity: wishlist
File: /usr/bin/git-buildpackage


Primary reason:

I would like to co-maintain some packages, packaging of which is kept under SVN
with mergeWithUpstream flag.  Sure thing I would like to use GIT and
git-buildpackage ;)  Ideally I should be able to go with *.orig.tar.gz and
debian/ (under git), the same way as svn-buildpackage does.

Unfortunately it is not supported (or broken) as of now in gbp.  In both
scenarios -- I have no upstream/ branch at all, or just empty upstream/ branch
-- target build directory lacks any upstream sources (and there is a
scream from dpkg-source I guess about deletion of all upstream files).

I have tried to google up either it was ever suggested or implemented,
but only found "is not supported", or statement that it works [1], which is,
unfortunately, not true (per described above).
