As a side note, master is typically a branch (intended to be updatable) rather than a tag (not intended to change). It doesn't have to be branch called master that has the debian packaging (although that might be a sensible policy to make; I think this what the perl team decided to do). In any case, I agree that HEAD should point to the branch having the debian packaging. This would make your command work, and mean that someone cloning the repo gets that branch checked out by default. This can be fixed with something like (filling in $package). ssh git.debian.org git \ --git-dir=/git/debian-science/packages/$package.git symbolic-ref HEAD \ refs/heads/master if your packaging branch is named debian, just use "refs/heads/debian" instead of refs/heads/master d -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
