Package: dgit
Version: 9.6
I have been investigating
#1018143 confusion regarding mode changes and patch formats
#995056 re files changing mode
I have a wip branch which uses git diff to generate patches, rather
than dpkg-source --commit, and in my tests it can generate patches
that, when dpkg-source extracts them, manipulate file modes.
However, all of this breaks with single-debian-patch. That optionc
auses dpkg to try to unapply, and then regenerate, the changes in that
patch. This does not work if the patch is not one that dpkg-source
can generate. This means that "3.0 (quilt) single-debian-patch" is
able to properly represent strictly fewer trees than "3.0 (quilt)
vanilla".
The failure modes are very bad. For example, I was able to make a
source package which extracts correctly, and everything is fine, but
as soon as you try to edit *an unrelated file* dpkg-source craps out
terribly.
I am filing this against dgit because I CBA to try to write a bug
report against src:dpkg right now. Writing that report will involve
some double-checkng and perhaps some care in the wording.
I think in src:dgit we need to implement an alternative to
single-debian-patch and recommend that instead.
Perhaps it could be a quilt mode, which strips the package back down
to the .origs and makes a single patch out of the delta?

Closes: 964286 973896 992606 995056 1018143 1018984
Changes:
dgit (10.0) unstable; urgency=medium
.
Major command line change - dgit push vs push-built:
* Introduce "dgit push-built", meaning what "dgit push" does now.
* Make "dgit push" a configurable alias, which by default warns about
future incompatibility and then runs "dgit push-built". See dgit(1).
* Docs: generally recommend "push-source" rather than "push".
[Report from Osamu Aoki] Closes:#992606.
.
New feature, and change to recommended usage:
* Provide --quilt=single, and no longer recommend single-debian-patch
anywhere (since it can go badly wrong). Closes:#1018984.
.
Handling of unusual kinds of change to upstream files, during quilt fixup:
* Don't use dpkg-source --commit, but git diff.
* Handle exectutability changes. Closes:#995056. [Report from Peter Green]
* Reject all changes to symlinks (including symlink creation).
* With dpkg single-debian-patch, pass --include-removal to dpkg-source -b.
* Now we can make any diff that dpkg-source can cope with. Closes:#1018143.
.
Changes related to --dry-run and --damp-run:
* dgit(1): Demote, and add caveats describing their behaviours.
Closes:#973896. [Report from Wookey]
* dry run: Fix a handful of bugs (and improve a message).
.
Other:
* dgit: Pass require_valid_signature to Dpkg::Source::Package
in the correct manner. Closes: #964286. [Guillem Jover]
.
Internal:
* Refactorings and commentary, to support the other changes.
* Consequential updates to tests.
* More comprehensive testing of unusual upstream changes.
