I think this is because you did not create local branches for upstream and pristine-tar. Do the following in your local repo: git branch upstream origin/upstream git branch pristine-tar origin/pristine-tar I don't know if there is an automated way of doing this. Also don't forget to use the --git-pristine-tar option of git-buildpackage (you can put it in ~/.gbp.conf). -- Sébastien Villemot Researcher in Economics & Debian Maintainer http://www.dynare.org/sebastien Phone: +33-1-40-77-84-04 - GPG Key: 4096R/381A7594
