how about providing a cmdline flag like --git-no-filter then? it would mean a
difference of like 5 or 6 lines of code.

the problem with that is it prevents passing additional arguments to pbuilder,
as well as prevents using yet other builders. for example, i have a wrapper
script that implements multiple different versions of pbuilder via symlinks:
pbuilder-sid-i386, pbuilder-sid-amd64, pbuilder-etch, etc. the amount of
work required to support all these different variations would be far more
than simply adding a cmdline switch.
really, i think the "Right Thing" would be to have --git-builder not default
to "debuild", but instead "debuild -i.git -I.git", thus not requiring the
kludge of adding in the options as an afterthought, and rather explicitly
spelling otu to anyone who wanted to change the config that they might want
something similar. but if that's not acceptable to you, i think the
additional flag would work for me.
