I'm not sure it's relevant then. I would not keep the history if I'm reworking from scratch. ymmv >> I'm not sure that we should enforce anything on how/from what the >> branches were created here. >> >>> - set debian/gbp.conf accordingly (upstream-branch and >>> debian-branch) >>> >> >> Why? or did you forget to add "in $distrib/debian"? > > I mean that we should add/change upstream-branch = upstream to > upstream-branch = $distrib/upstream > > and debian-branch = master to debian-branch = $distrib/master > Yeah, I did understand that. But, I wouldn't not commit that on "master". The default remains "sid", IMHO. >>> - in dom-new-git-repo: >>> >>> - add an option (-t $distrib) to fork upstream and master branches >>> remotely and check them out locally. >>> >> >> How do you fork from something that doesn't exist?

I think that we might need to use Git directly instead of writing scripts.
