Dear vcs-pkg, I've got an interesting problem, for which the Git users here might have a nice solution.
I have a package, which is meant for unstable. Now, because of the gfortran transition, I want to upload the package, with modfications to experimental. This involves renaming some .install and .docs files in debian/, and editing the control file. OK till now, except that if upstream makes a new release, I'll have to somehow revert the changes to the older versions (pre-exeperimental upload), and keep the changelog with the experimental entry intact, switch back, and create a new experimental upload. This reverting, re-reverting etc. is the part I want to see how to solve. Right now, I have only two branches, upstream and master, as I adopted a rather simplistic approach to packaging. Could you suggest a way by which this problem can be "decently" handled with branches (or otherwise) in git? Thanks.
