Package: git-buildpackage
Version: 0.6.2
Severity: minor

Dear Maintainer,

I was attempting to configure a debian/gbp.conf to filter out files shipped by
upstream that were rebuilt by the build process, however gbp import-orig kept
adding files that matched my filter expresions.

Eventually I determined that the config parser only looks at the last filter
entry in the appropriate config section.

The man pages contain examples like (which what I tried first):

        [import-orig]
        filter = .svn
        filter = .hg
        filter = .bzr

But that doesn't work, if you want multiple filters  you do need to use the
python list style. e.g.

        [import-dsc]
        filter = [
               'CVS',
               '.cvsignore',
               '.hg',
               ]

It would be nice if either the documentation would be updated to use the second
style exclusively, or the parser was updated to support the previous style.
