The issue is, that you don't have an empty line between the subject (first line of the commit message) and the body (all following lines). In this case git-dch still reads this as the commits subject and doesn't do any tag parsing in it. IMHO this correct since e.g. a git-rebase -i 20a9ed0b4a6aa2dbadfc5636b295fda07d457802^ looks like this: pick 20a9ed0 Convert to source format 3.0 (quilt) pick a3adc06 Backport fix for window position crashes Closes: #619001 LP: #728466 pick 63cebed Changelog entries for 1.1.3-2 so it also treats the part on the 2nd and 3rd lines as part of the subject. So git-dch is stricter in interpreting the commit message. If I add a blank line after the subject the result looks like: * [68d8e5] Backport fix for window position crashes (Closes: #619001) (LP: #728466) * [37e3f8] Changelog entries for 1.1.3-2 Hope this helps, -- Guido > > 1: git://robin.powdarrmonkey.net/git/rednotebook/ > > > Cheers, > > --- Guido > > -- > Jonathan Wiltshire j...@debian.org > Debian Developer http://people.debian.org/~jmw > > 4096R: 0xD3524C51 / 0A55 B7C5 1223 3942 86EC 74C3 5394 479D D352 4C51 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
