Concerning the role in gbp, it uses branch + tag:
(I disable the pristine-tar)
gbp:info: ocaml-extunix_0.0.1.orig.tar.gz does not exist, creating from
'upstream/0.0.1'
It uses upstream/$upstream_version if it exists, but otherwise it
(silently) uses directly $upstream_branch. This happens when there is a
'~' in the upstream version (which happens quite frequently with
experimental), which is turned into a '.' by git-import-orig (since git
doesn't support '~' in its tag names). I prefer to always create two git
branches per Debian branch instead of thinking of how things can go
wrong if I don't branch the upstream branch.
Agreed, gbp could be fixed, but the other benefits of having an explict
upstream branch made this limitation forgettable.
So even if branches are cheap, I would prefer to have a single upstream
branch. After all we only follow one upstream.
And what about projects with several branches? It's not uncommon to have
a stable branch and a development branch.
And I still don't see any benefits in having a single upstream branch...
