Well, `git fetch ian` in my case ;)

LGTM.

#868527 is a very encouraging read.  To my mind, the git-archive(1)
approach suggested there would be a big step forward for sbuild.

Depending on the final interface for that new feature -- whether it
requires an option, or whether sbuild autodetects a git repo -- it might
be worth ensuring that `dgit sbuild` always uses the new feature.

Sorry, I meant worktrees.

I think that this new sbuild feature might render that idea of mine
obsolete.
