I'm not sure how these command could succeed. At least with my test,
either pristine-tar branch is not auto created, nor pristine-tar can
perform commit.
The upstream repo has same branch/tag name, which confuses pristine-tar .

That's because the upstream repo has .gitattributes, which influences
the result of `git-archive`. You can use `gbp buildpackage export-dir`
feature to let gbp do same `git-archive` for your debian branch.
