Package: qa.debian.org
Severity: normal

For git repositories, vcswatch should check the configuration file
debian/gbp.conf (if it exists) in the source package to determine what branch to
use as its packaging branch. For example, vcswatch reports 

    Error: changelog package prerex does not match source vprerex

on vprerex[0] because the HEAD of the git repository specified in Vcs-Git points
to the prerex packaging instead of the vprerex packaging. However, the file
debian/gbp.conf[1] in the vprerex sources specifies that the debian-branch is
vprerex, and this is the branch vcswatch should be checking.

By checking a specific branch instead of HEAD, I suspect this would also fix
bug #784907 [2].

Hi Mattia,

Aha, I missed that paragraph of policy. Thanks for pointing it out to me!

Yes it does, I'll close it seeing that the Vcs-Git field already provides a
suitable alternative to checking debian-branch in debian/gbp.conf. Sorry for the
noise!

Best wishes,
Ryan
