Bug#625940: /usr/bin/debcheckout: [debcheckout] make “--git-track='*'” the default ?
Le Sat, May 12, 2012 at 07:38:36AM +0200, Andreas Tille a écrit : we have some record on our Debian Med mailing lists that I several times endet up with a clone that did not contained pristine-tar branch and I admit that I will forget this additional detail also in the future. I have no idea about internals but IMHO it would be a very good idea if git-buildpackage would work out of the box without specifying additional options. Dear devscripts maintainer, I would like to ask again if it would be acceptable to make --git-track='*' the default for debcheckout, since it does not consume more disk space or bandwith. If yes, shall I commit the change ? If no, how about closing that bug ?

I would like to ask again if it would be acceptable to make --git-track='*' the default for debcheckout, since it does not consume more disk space or bandwith. Creating local branches for relevant remote branches is a normal part of working with git repositories, so I see no need to diverge from git's default behavior and creating local branches for all remote branches by default. debcheckout is intended to be a simple wrapper around $vcs to easily get the development source of a package, not much more. Note that git checkout $branch will automatically create a local branch based off the remote branch of the same name if it's unique, which should be the case with pristine-tar. Given that, there's not even a required change in workflow needed. Also, Andreas is talking about having git-buildpackage work out of the box in the initial report, so I'm not sure why this was filed against debcheckout. If this is about git-buildpackage's behavior, then the bug should be reassigned. If you feel strongly that debcheckout is the one that needs to be changed, then at most I could see adding a config variable to specify a user-specific value for --git-track.

Hi, we have some record on our Debian Med mailing lists that I several times endet up with a clone that did not contained pristine-tar branch and I admit that I will forget this additional detail also in the future. I have no idea about internals but IMHO it would be a very good idea if git-buildpackage would work out of the box without specifying additional options. Kind regards Andreas. -- http://fam-tille.de -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble? Contact listmas...@lists.debian.org

Package: devscripts Version: 2.10.69+squeeze1 Severity: wishlist File: /usr/bin/debcheckout Dear Stefano, since “debcheckout --git-track='*'” does not consume more disk space or bandwith than “debcheckout” without this option, I wonder if it could be made the default. For packages managed with git-buildpackage, it would be convenient.
