Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.7.1 Severity: wishlist Dear Maintainer,
'gbp clone' provides a nice wrapper around 'git clone' that helps dealing with packaging repositories. now one of the things i need to do with many packaging repositories is to ignore the /.pc/¹ directory created when maintaining patches with quilt. as i don't want to touch /.gitignore (being outside of the /debian/ directory; potentially conlicting with upstream's .gitignore), what i usually do is²: echo "/.pc/" >> .git/info/exclude it would be great if 'gpb clone' could do this automatically for me (probably only if the source-format is set to "3.0 (quilt)" in debian/source/format) mgfards IOhannes ¹ rooted in the packaging directory ² or rather: egrep "^/?\.pc/?$" .git/info/exclude >/dev/null || (echo "/.pc/" >> .git/info/exclude) -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (500, 'stable'), (1, 'experimental') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.3.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/4 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.utf8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.utf8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.15.10 ii git 1:2.7.0-1 ii man-db 2.7.5-1 ii python-dateutil 2.4.2-1 pn python-pkg-resources <none> ii python-six 1.10.0-1 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii cowbuilder 0.78 ii pbuilder 0.222 ii pristine-tar 1.33 ii python-requests 2.9.1-1 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: ii python-notify 0.1.1-4 ii sudo 1.8.15-1.1 ii unzip 6.0-20 -- no debconf information
