Package: dgit Version: 10.6 Hello,
I think that it's very unfortunate that one of our flagship workflows, dgit-maint-merge(7), now requires local git configuration, in the form of 'git config --local dgit.default.quilt-mode single'. Git configuration is a pain to automate. I understand the issues with single-debian-patch, but most packages will never run into issues, and in any case there's no doubt it's a bug in dpkg, which can be fixed. How about having single-debian-patch imply --quilt=single in the absence of any other setting or command line argument for the quilt mode? Then in the docs we would say that it is a good idea to use only the git configuration value, but that this is another option if you prefer it. This is still better than the previous situation because dgit will undo some problems created by single-debian-patch (right?). -- Sean Whitton
