And it's also painful when you use "gbp dch", having a commit in the middle introduce a changelog entry means that the next "gbp dch" run might miss some commits that need to be documented. Not everybody is sold to the idea of using "gbp dch" but it's definitely cleaner IMO. Commits that do not modify debian/changelog are also easier to cherry-pick between different branches, etc. Cheers, -- ⢀⣴⠾⠻⢶⣦⠀ Raphaël Hertzog <hertzog@debian.org> ⣾⠁⢠⠒⠀⣿⡁ ⢿⡄⠘⠷⠚⠋ The Debian Handbook: https://debian-handbook.info/get/ ⠈⠳⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀ Debian Long Term Support: https://deb.li/LTS
