Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.9.39
Severity: wishlist
X-Debbugs-Cc: Richard Hansen <[email protected]>
Dear Maintainer,
0.9.39 changes `gbp pq export` behavior to use `git diff -C` output in
d/p/**.patch [0].
* [05a71f0] pq: Create rename and copy patches when exporting.
This produces smaller patches that are easier to review and easier to
refresh by devs that don't use git-buildpackage. […]
(Closes: #1100809)
When backporting security patches to older suites it IMHO produces
patches that are actually *harder* to review. For instance an upstream
change might introduce a new unit test file, which `gbp pq export`
generates as “copy from other/unit/test” for the debian/trixie branch,
and as “copy from other/unit/test2-different-source” for the
debian/bookworm branch. Although the new files from the two branches
are identical, the exported patches are completely different and
diff'ing the two to produces confusing output.
I often double-check my backports using `git diff
debian/bookworm..debian/trixie debian/patches/CVE-YYYY-XXXX.patch`,
and find that forced copy detection makes the output uncheckable. See
for instance
https://salsa.debian.org/lts-team/packages/gnutls28/-/blob/debian/bullseye/debian/patches/CVE-2025-9820/01-aa5f15a872.patch?ref_type=heads#L530

I think copy detection is not desirable in all workflows and wish it
could be disabled from gbp.conf, but unfortunately it's not
configurable.
Thanks for maintaining git-buildpackage!
