The --svn-ignore-new switch allows me to build a package even though
there are local changes, but svn-buildpackage ignores locally added
files and directories.

The --svn-ignore-new switch should ignore the fact that there are local
changes, but it should still include any newly added files and
directories when building a package.  (This is extremely useful for
testing.)

I disagree. If you want to mess around with unknown files, then work in
your work directory directly. Or copy it manually and test somewhere
else. rsync is great for doing that.

I fail to see how locally modified files (status 'M') differ from locally added files and directories (status 'A') in this context. Both contain changes that will be checked in during the next commit-- the only difference is that the newly added files (and directories) don't exist in the svn repository yet.

Note that I am NOT talking about ignoring unknown files (status '?'), just newly added files.

I won't argue this point any further, though.

Dave
