Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.8.8 Severity: wishlist Hello,
If my repository shows origin/pristine-tar remote branch and I use --git-pristine-tar, gbp says, "gbp:warning: Pristine-tar branch "pristine-tar" not found". I need to actually do a 'git checkout -b pristine-tar origin/pristine-tar' before it recognizes it. Can't gbp just use the git ref that is available at origin/pristine-tar, without an actual branch checkout being made manually beforehand? If not, couldn't it just automate making that local branch for you? thanks! micah -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'stable') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 4.8.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/8 CPU cores) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (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 2.16.13 ii git 1:2.11.0-2 ii man-db 2.7.6.1-2 ii python-dateutil 2.5.3-2 ii python-pkg-resources 32.0.0-1 ii python-six 1.10.0-3 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii cowbuilder 0.82 ii pbuilder 0.227 ii pristine-tar 1.37 ii python-requests 2.12.4-1 ii sbuild 0.73.0-1 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: ii python-notify 0.1.1-4 ii sudo 1.8.19-1 ii unzip 6.0-21 -- no debconf information
