Hi, Bernhard R. Link: > I think such a document would do well to not say much about upstream > branches or imply how they should be managed. > It is helpful to base the Debian release on an Upstream release that is actually tagged by Upstream, provided that the version thus tagged is the basis for ongoing development (or fixes, for stable branches). On the other hand, there are upstreams where "releasing" means "make a release branch, run autotools and/or doxygen, add all these auto-gene- rated files to the branch, and tag that". IMHO it's good practice to discourage this. > git-dpm creates some git branch head for the upstream branch.

If not: wouldn't it be easier, long-term, to file a bug requesting to drop this behavior? ;-) -- -- Matthias Urlichs
