Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.8.12.2 Severity: normal I've been using in my debian/gbp.conf since 2015 this line:
ignore-branch = True However today I noticed that it's not being honored anymore. While running gbp import-orig on a branch called "stretch" it automatically defaults to merging the new upstream into branch "master". I've upgraded recently from Ubuntu 12.04 to 17.04 and thus the gbp version changed. The feature was introduced in https://git.sigxcpu.org/cgit/git-buildpackage/commit/?id=7f580d9da449b13b6bb3c6aaf6f35eba05a35c7e and I tried to track if it has changed, but I cannot find. In the old version I was using "git-buildpackage --import-orig" and the man page at https://manpages.debian.org/jessie/git-buildpackage/git-buildpackage.1.en.html documents the ignore-branch flag. The new "gbp import-orig" seems to miss this: https://manpages.debian.org/stretch/git-buildpackage/gbp-import-orig.1.en.html
