Package: dgit Version: 0.11 Severity: normal I am trying to release alien using dgit. In a clone of the upstream git repository, I ran `dgit fetch`, which added the dgit repository correctly. Then still in my upstream master branch, I did a `dgit build -tc`, which succeeded. Then `dgit push` failed:

However, dgit fetch did not do that. I can (and now have) done it on my own[1], but I wonder if a) this requirement makes sense and b) should fetch do it automatically?
