Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.9.22 Severity: wishlist There are cases where "gbp import-orig --uscan" exits with a no-op although a new upstream version should be available: - a new repack level in d/watch; - new subcomponents in d/watch;
In both cases, the new "upstream" part of the version number is actually increased (either with +dfsgX or +~csX.Y.Z if using subcomponents), but to get there you have to perform the ugly trick of setting the latest version number in d/changelog to 0, then running gbp import-orig --uscan, then changing the version number back to its previous value. I think a "gbp import-orig --uscan --force" option would be a nice addition; it should be a simple matter of running uscan with -ddd.
