Package: dgit
Version: 8.5
https://git.dgit.debian.org is unreliable. (This isn't dgit's fault.)
Currently, users get a message like this:
$ dgit clone debvm
canonical suite name for unstable is sid
fetching existing git history
fatal: Could not read from remote repository.
Please make sure you have the correct access rights
and the repository exists.
dgit: failed command: git ls-remote -q --refs
https://git.dgit.debian.org/debvm 'refs/tags/archive/debian/*'
'refs/tags/debian/*' refs/dgit/sid refs/dgit-rewrite/map
dgit: error: subprocess failed with error exit status 128
$
It should maybe print something like this:
It appears that the git repository
repository https://git.dgit.debian.org/debvm
is unreachable or broken. If dgit worked before for this distro (and
therefore is properly configured), this probably means that your local
network is broken, or the git server is malfunctioning.
If you have push access, you may find that specifying --for-push
works around the problem by using a different repo access method.
To be useful, we'd maybe want to bnackport this change.
