Package: dgit
Version: 6.6

If your .orig.tar.gz does not match your git tree, dgit quilt-fixup
can print something like this:

   $ dgit -wgf quilt-fixup
   Format `3.0 (quilt)', need to check/update patch stack
   examining quilt state (multiple patches, linear mode)
   dgit: base trees orig=e21bf8a0df76aa07b4ac o+d/p=b57be302abd3b173c545
   dgit: quilt differences: src:  ## orig ##     gitignores:  ## orig ##
   dgit: quilt differences:      HEAD ## o+d/p               HEAD == o+d/p
   starting quiltify (multiple patches, linear mode)

   dgit: error: quilt fixup cannot be linear.  Stopped at:
   dgit:  [something or other]
   dgit: Maybe you need to specify one of --[quilt=]gbp --[quilt=]dpm 
--quilt=unapplied ?

   dgit: error: quilt history linearisation failed.  Search `quilt fixup' in 
dgit(7).
   dgit: Use dpkg-source --commit by hand; or, --quilt=smash for one ugly patch

The error message should mention that a possible cause of quilt
fixup failure is wrong orig tarballs.
