I would really appreciate knowing whether these branches are in use -- whether they have the most recent upstream versions imported to them. For example I often find pristine-tar branches but just ignore them, where team policy allows me to. So the fact that someone used it once may not mean much statistically. git-debpush has code in it to detect whether the current release in d/changelog is represented in the pristine-tar branch if you want to crib from somewhere. -- Sean Whitton
