Some of us prefer git, others svn. :) Andreas is impartial.

If I understand it correctly, you get something like:
"dpkg-source: error: aborting due to unexpected upstream changes,"
I would add a line with "single-debian-patch" on it to "debian/source/options". This makes the build system generate a patch (for 3.0 (quilt)
format packages) automatically. Changes to automatically generated files will (also) be collected there.
You also could just ignore automatically generated files from the automatic patch generation, check out man dpkg-source, --extend-diff-ignore.
Here is a very good guide to packaging with git [1].

Check out --filter and --filter-pristine-tar on man git-import-orig. If you use this feature, please make a note in debian/README.source.
