librabbitmq and git

Hello,

I would like to package the latest upstream version of librabbitmq.

However, the packaging is in git, and I am not sure how to insert the latest upstream version in this git repository.

From debian/control:

Homepage: https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c

Vcs-Git: git://anonscm.debian.org/collab-maint/librabbitmq.git

Vcs-Browser: http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?p=collab-maint/librabbitmq.git

From debian/copyright:

Source: https://github.com/alanxz/rabbitmq-c

I take this to mean I should be downloading the orig.tag.gz from github.

However, just to make things more interesting, the 5.0 and 5.1 tar.gz file from github contains a "sub git repository" (not sure I have used correct git terminology here), with invalid relative reference, under rabbitmq-c-0.5.1/codegen, which wasn't included in librabbitmq_0.5.0.orig.tar.gz

brian@aquitard:~/tree/debian/unstable/librabbitmq/librabbitmq/codegen$ cat .git

gitdir: ../.git/modules/codegen

brian@aquitard:~/tree/debian/unstable/librabbitmq/librabbitmq/codegen$ git diff

fatal: Not a git repository: ../.git/modules/codegen

So it looks like maybe the librabbitmq_0.5.0.orig.tar.gz was repackaged from upstream? Should I do the same thing for 0.5.1?

Thanks
