I think this means that gbp import-ref could very well form part of
the kind of workflow that we would recommend. So, jolly good.
Of course I haven't looked into its handling of upstream tags etc. in
detail, obviously, and I'm not sure why git branch formats (git
packaging "workflows") it's compatible with. It's probably good with
gbp pq, and might be compatible with dgit-maint-merge(7). I doubt it
would DTRT for a git-debrebase user, but git-debrebase does about half
of this job (the hard part) itself. So I'm not sure I'm in a position
to advise about it.
Thanks!
Ian.
