Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.9.8 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer,
I was trying to update TestNG package to the latest upstream release, but gbp import-orig fails without much useful (for me) output. Here is how to reproduce the problem: eugene@debian:~/dev$ git clone ssh://git.debian.org/git/pkg-java/testng.git Cloning into 'testng'... remote: Counting objects: 32552, done. remote: Compressing objects: 100% (10926/10926), done. remote: Total 32552 (delta 19512), reused 32540 (delta 19509) Receiving objects: 100% (32552/32552), 22.93 MiB | 2.35 MiB/s, done.
