The potential problem is that you can accidentally push debian/foo tags to a remote other than salsa, such as upstream's git repo, if you happen to have push access to that (I've managed to do this before, though I think it was with --tags). What do you think about this risk? Were you looking for anything beyond these two things? > BUILDING AND UPLOADING should also mention pushing to salsa Yes. -- Sean Whitton
