I've made a little ASCII graphic of this. The last two commits on the upstream branch are A and B. The last three commits on master are X, Y and Z. Y merges A into master. When building Z, the compression format should be determined by commit A, not commit B as is currently the case.
** Attachment added: "graph.txt" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/git-buildpackage/+bug/615212/+attachment/1580829/+files/graph.txt -- heuristic to determine compression-format from HEAD of upstream branch can lead to incorrect result when upstream is not merged to master https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/615212 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
