I have no doubt that *Github* can create bit-identical results.
However, I have doubt that you can create from a local clone the
very same tarball. This is the role of the pristine-tar branch
and currently I can not build bart by the following procedure:
ssh://git.debian.org/git/debian-med/bart.git
cd bart
gbp buildpackage
I simply get diffs between the upstream branch and the orig.tar.gz.
The above should be possible and it becomes possible if you do
cd bart
uscan --verbose --force-download
gbp import-orig --pristine-tar ../bart*.orig.tar.gz

OK, you are the expert here. :-)

That's an unfortunate consequence of the transition.
Kind regards
