Bug#761160: git-buildpackage: gbp pq: multiple user interface issues

2014-09-11 Thread Raphaël Hertzog 
Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.19
Severity: wishlist

I would like to see the following changes in the behaviour of gbp pq:

1/ gbp pq export should automatically drop the temporary patch-queue branch
   Rationale: if other people do changes do the quilt series, my patch
   queue branch will be stale and this will force me to drop it manually
   and re-import it. Worst case: I don't notice it and I drop the work of
   others.

2/ gbp pq switch should automatically call gbp pq import if there is
   a pre-existing debian/patches/series. If I want to start a new empty
   patch queue branch, it should be a dedicated command (and it could be
   used here for the case where debian/patches/series doesn't exist).

Thank you for considering!

If at all this should become an options since e.g. I prefer to keep
the branch around. Patch would be welcome.

 2/ gbp pq switch should automatically call gbp pq import if there is
a pre-existing debian/patches/series. If I want to start a new empty
patch queue branch, it should be a dedicated command (and it could be
used here for the case where debian/patches/series doesn't
exist).

I mostly agree here but the case were the series doesn't import needs
some consideration. (e.g. if it's better to create branch by going
back in history like --time-machine does or fail upfront) and we need
to decide whether to rebase the pq branch automatically on switch too.

Cheers,
