Hi,
after cloning a repository with debcheckout, I'm missing the upstream
and pristine-tar branches. It would be nice to have an option for gbp
pull to set up these missing tracking branches. (upstream branch name
should of course depend on debian/gbp.conf)
And maybe even better: obsolete debcheckout usage by adding something
like
gbp clone [-a] <sourcepackagename>
using the repository information from Vcs-Git in Sources, s.t.
I don't have to lookup the URL myself. Don't forget that there could
be branch information in Vcs-Git. Should also support URL rewriting from
anonymous to authenticated like debcheckout -a.
And maybe add some option to gbp pull or gbp push to rewrite the
repository URL from anonymous to authenticated, to allow pushing even if
one forgot the '-a' option to the initial debcheckout / gbp clone.

PS: please clone to as many bugs as you want :-)
