  Bugfix for handling some source packages:
  * dgit: dsc import: Launder the series file before feeding it to gbp,
    (in absurd git-apply mode) in case it contains strange things.

  Minor improvements to git-debrebase:
  * git-debrebase(1): Add imprecation to call conclude or prepush, at top
  * git-debrebase(1): Remove launder-v0 from documentation
  * git-debrebase status: Print upstream commitid

  Supporting chnages:
  * dgit: Fix confusing appending of gbp-pq-output in innards.

  * dgit: Fix a call to die to be confess, if an unexpected copy fails.
  * tests: Bail on seeing "internal-only" commits, which should be invisible.
  * tests: Test laundering of a deranged series file (with a form feed).
  * dgit-ssh-dispatch: Apply perllib_local to policy hook, fixing a test
    suite bug where the wrong Dgit.pm might be used.

  dgit useability improvements:
  * Silently tolerate mentions of debian/ in debian/source/include-binaries.
    Closes:#1026918.  [Report from Simon McVittie]
  * Scan for duplicated orig tarballs with different names,
    avoiding strange dpkg-source errors mentioning format 2.0.
    Closes:#993769.  [Report from Philip Hands]
  * Rename auto quilt mode to try-linear (retaining compat alias),
    to clarify that it won't automatically detect branch format.
    Closes:#935762.  [Report from David Bremner]
  * dgit(1): Clarify the non-split-brain --quilt options, explicitly
    stating that they expect a patched-applied (dgit view) branch.

  Tainted object handling (relevant to Debian NEW):
  * dgit can now usually discover when --deliberately-* will be needed,
    before making signatures and attempting the actual push.
    Thus, missing a --deliberately no longer burns a version number.
  * This is #944855.  However, it depends new infrastructure,
    which is (in this version) only queried on a best-effort basis:
  * New protocol transaction (over ssh) with dgit repos server,
    to allow client to make a policy enquiry, and specifically to
    enquire about tainted objects.
  * More of the relevant error messages are now translatable via gettext.

  Supporting changes:
  * Modest refactoring to support the new functionality.
  * Tests for new functionality, and improved tests in changed areas.
  * tests: sbuild-gitish: Pass -v to sbuild for better debuggability.

    Closes:#1024233.  [Report from Peter Green]

  New tools for a "git-push-to-upload" workflow [Ian Jackson & Sean Whitton]:
  * New script in a new binary package: git-debpush.
    The new binary package is small, but
    + git-debpush needs to be in src:dgit, because its test suite is the
      dgit test suite; however,
    + git-debpush is functionally and conceptually independent of dgit,
      so should not go into bin:dgit; in particular
    + git-debpush's dependencies are quite different to the other
      binary packages.
  * New dgit-infrastructure subcommand, tag2upload, to process tags made
    by git-debpush.
    Please see git-debpush(1) for a sketch of the workflow.

  dgit:
  * Allow the -p option to be used with various push modes.
  * Include dgit tag metadata in maintainer view tags.
    For consistency with, and use by, git-debpush.
  * Include quilt metadata in the archive/ (dgit view) tag.
  * rpush protocol: Version 6, which includes split brain information
    for maintainer view tags.  And, actually use newer version
    (was broken in 9.0, which would prefer to select 4 not 5).
  * Add some missing blank lines to tag messages.
  * Some other refactoring.

  Other documentation:
  * dgit(1): fix a reference in the description of --quilt=auto [Sean
    Whitton].

  Translations:
  * Do not translate tag subject lines, because these are parsed by
    dgit-repos-server.

  Test suite:
  * Test cases for new tools for "git-push-to-upload" workflow.
  * drs-git-ext: honour DGIT_DRS_MODE.
  * Provide a stunt sendmail and a stunt dgit.
  * Unset CDPATH in case caller has it set.
  * Some other refactoring.

  Administrivia:
  * Update d/copyright years to include 2019 [Sean Whitton].

dgit (9.0) unstable; urgency=medium

  dgit - low-impact incompatible change:
  * Drop support for, and testing of, dgit versions which use old tag name
    (debian/V; now that is maintainer view and dgit is archive/debian/V).
    The new tags came in in dgit 2.0 in October 2016.  No version of dgit
    without them was in any Debian release.  We don't expect there are any
    sites using old servers which do not support the new format, or anyone
    using a dgit client older than 2.x who cannot upgrade.

  git-debrebase fixes [Niko Tyni]:
  * Fix `git-debrebase convert-from-dgit-view <upstream>', which
    would crash due to an argument parser bug.  Closes:#930214.
  * git-debrebase(1): typo fix.  Closes:#930215.

  dgit - new capabilities:
  * Support split view with native packages, and with all quilt modes.
    Now we distinguish "split view" (meaning separate dgit branch) from
    "splitting quilt modes" (eg --quilt-unapplied).
    [Prompted in part by enquiries from Sam Hartman]  Closes:#926640.
  * Support for bare debian/ directory (aka packaging-only) git branches
    Ie, --quilt=baredebian[+tarball].  [Thanks for info from Shengjing
    Zhu, and docs and UI contributions/review from Sean Whitton.]
    Closes:#903392.  Closes:#931253.

  dgit - bugfixes:
  * Fix --dgit-view-save option alias, which never worked.
    (--save-dgit-view worked, and still does, though.)
  * i18n: Do not translate import commit messages.

  dgit - other documentation improvements [Sean Whitton]:
  * Expand on description of --include-dirty.  New text may help
    user avoid unexpected file deletion.  Closes:#930922.
  * dgit-maint-*(7): Suggest --name-status --diff-filter.  Closes:#930956.
  * dgit-maint-*(7): Using untagged upstream commits.  Closes:#930964.

  dgit - minor consequences of these other changes:
  * Actually properly reject invalid quilt modes found in git config.
    (Previously they might be accepted and then cause malfunctions.)
  * Reject split brain quilt modes with single-debian-patch.
    (Previously this would malfunction; now we reject it.)
  * i18n: Add translator notes about ASCII art changes display.
  * Drop "dgit view: changes are required..." message.
  * Some other minor changes to quilt fixup error handling.
  * Changes to debugging output related to quilt modes and split view.
  * Introduce rpush protocol version 5.  Minimum version is now 4.
  * Considerable internal rearrangement of quilt fixup code.
  * Considerable test suite work including new tests.

  dgit test suite:
  * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Test taint removal.  Closes:#929249.

  dgit - Behavioural changes with compatibility implications:
  * Pass --no-source-only-changes to pbuilder and cowbuilder
    Closes:#904862.  This option was only recently added to
    pbuilder.  For compatibility with old pbuilder, say, eg
    `dgit --pbuilder!:--no-source-only-changes'.
  * With --clean=git etc, check the tree is clean even before building
    source in dgit's private directory.  Specifically, with eg dgit sbuild
    or dgit build-source.  dgit prior to 6.0 would always clean the tree.
    dgit 6.0 to 8.1 would ignore untracked files completely, leading to
    occasional lossage.  The pre-6.0 behaviour can be requested with
    --clean=git,always etc. (aka -wga, -wgfa).  Closes:#914317.

  dgit - New features, bugfixes and improved behaviours:
  * Allow uppercase (ascii) letters in multi-orig components,
    as is allowed by the spec in dpkg-source(1).  Closes:#916926.
  * Honour --program!:option to suppress options passed by default.
  * clone: Create destination directory before using network.
  * Check early that build-products-dir is accessible.  Closes:#913648.
  * Look for origs in `..' as well as build-products-dir, and
    there are any, link them into the bpd.  Closes:#904878.
  * Provide new --git[-ff],always clean mode (as discussed above).

  * nl, messages.   Closes:#917148.

  * dgit-maint-debrebase(7): handle DFSG-filtering for a new package.
    [Sean Whitton]  Closes:#915973.

  Error message improvements:
  * dgit: When reporting no such package, say `source package'.
  * dgit: Fix reference to -wdn/-wddn in a message.
  * dgit: cleaning: Minorly improved handling of note about ignores.
  * dgit-repos-policy-debian: Remove duplicated text from force
    report message.  Closes:#913676.

  * po/README: Fix reference to dgit-user_7.pot.
  * po4a, pairwise-pocheck: Fix recognition of bare `<...>'.

  * When build fails because the network is offline, mention
    that this is because --since-version was not specified.
    Closes:#883340.
  * When quilt fixup fails because of discrepancies, print a
    git diff rune which will show them.  Closes:#865446.
  * When fetch or push wants git fetch (other than in a situation where it
    happes to be a noop) but --dry-run was specified, fail with an
    explanation, rather than looping with a false coplaint about git
    fetch.  Closes:#871317.
  * --overwrite now no longer crashes if there is nothing to overwrite
    (eg, when used with --new).  Instead, it is simply ignored, as it is
    ignored in situations where the push is fast forward.  Closes:#863576.

  dgit/git-debrebase interop bugfixes:

    git-debrebase.

  [ Thanks to Sean Whitton for much useful input, and for
     dgit-maint-debrebase(7). ]

  dgit bugfixes:
  * Fix the exit status of programs in dgit.deb, to avoid the Perl
    misfeature which sometimes copies $! to the exit status.
  * When checking that the tree is clean, check the git index too.
  * In quilt_fixup_multipatch, work around git checkout paths
    not deleting files.  (Hypothetical bug AFAIAA.)
  * Respect --quilt=nofix even if single-debian-patch.

  dgit minor fixes:
  * "confess" when we die due to a warning, rather than symply dieing.

  Internal changes:
  * Move $playground global to dgit.
  * Break git_get_symref and $extra_orig_namepart_re out into Dgit.pm.

  * Upload dgit 4.x series to unstable.

  New features [Sean Whitton]:
  * New 'push-source' subcommand for source-only uploads.  Closes:#848931
  * When dgit builds a source package, such as in the 'build-source'
    subcommand, it now bypasses dpkg-buildpackage and invokes dpkg-source
    directly.  This avoids a _source.buildinfo file in the .changes, which
    doesn't make sense when using dgit.  See
    <https://lists.debian.org/debian-dpkg/2017/06/msg00005.html>.

  Documentation improvements:
  * dgit(1): Add a bit more rationale (polemic, even).  Closes:#874221.
  * Recommend mk-build-deps rather than apt-get build-dep.
    Suggestion from Nikolaus Rath.  Closes:#863361.

  * In split brain mode, with unexpected diffs, print dgit view
    commitid in suggested diff rune.  (HEAD is wrong.)  Closes:#886443.
  * Fix message about missing quilt cache entry to refer to
    HEAD rather than tree, since dgit needs a commit.  Closes:#884646.
  * Fix grammar error in 4.1 changelog entry. [Sean Whitton]
  * Remove some whitespace "errors". [Sean Whitton]

  Packaging:
  * Remove dependency alternative on realpath (package last existed in
    Debian wheezy).  Closes:#877552.

  Test suite:
  * dpkgsourceignores-docs: Correct restriction (so autopkgtest
    won't try to run it).
  * Additional workarounds for gnupg races (#868550) including
    retrying each individual test once, and more sophisticated
    wrapper for gpg (with locking and, sometimes saves stdin).
  * oldnewtagalt: Fix regression when running outside git tree,
    introduced in 4.1.
