Hi Joey,

I'd prefer not to have an isolated branch for the pristine-tar data but to
have a folder in debian/ e.g. debian/pristine-orig/ to hold the data of
pristine-tar.

First it happens often that people make mistakes when committing a tarball
with pristine-tar. It's hard for git novices to reset the pristine-tar branch
to undo the commit. It's much easier to delete a delta file from the
filesystem instead of commiting it.

Second it seems to be the right thing to have everything in one branch.

- - If I tag my debian release with a signed git tag I sign just the master
  branch. An attacker could still try to manipulate the pristine-tar branch.

- - It might be possible that the pristine-tar branch gets lost or isn't up to
  date with the version referenced in the changelog in the master branch.

Regards,

Thomas Koch
