Package: git-buildpackage Version: 0.7.4 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
When I run gbp-dch in a subdirectory of a git repo, it fails to recognize that it's in a git repo. ie if your git repository is ~/git-repo/, and you run gbp-dch in ~/git-repo/foo/, gbp-dch returns gbp:error: ~/git-repo/foo/ is not a git repository However, running it in the root of the git repo works fine. optix2000@maruyu ~/iroffer/iroffer/iroffer-dinoex-3.30 (git)-[master] % gbp dch --verbose gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--show-cdup'] gbp:error: /home/optix2000/iroffer/iroffer/iroffer-dinoex-3.30 is not a git repository optix2000@maruyu ~/iroffer/iroffer/iroffer-dinoex-3.30 (git)-[master] % git rev-parse --show-cdup ../ optix2000@maruyu ~/iroffer/iroffer/iroffer-dinoex-3.30 (git)-[master] % cd .. optix2000@maruyu ~/iroffer/iroffer (git)-[master] % gbp dch --verbose gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--show-cdup'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'rev-parse', '--is-bare-repository'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'symbolic-ref', 'HEAD'] gbp:debug: ['git', 'show-ref', 'refs/heads/master'] # Ignore this, as the changelog exists in the subdirectory gbp:error: Failed to read changelog: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: './debian/changelog' optix2000@maruyu ~/iroffer/iroffer (git)-[master] % -- System Information: Debian Release: stretch/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Kernel: Linux 4.5.0-1-amd64 (SMP w/1 CPU core) Locale: LANG=en_US.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=en_US.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8) Shell: /bin/sh linked to /bin/dash Init: sysvinit (via /sbin/init) Versions of packages git-buildpackage depends on: ii devscripts 2.16.4 ii git 1:2.8.1-1 ii man-db 2.7.5-1 ii python-dateutil 2.4.2-1 ii python-pkg-resources 20.10.1-1 ii python-six 1.10.0-3 pn python:any <none> Versions of packages git-buildpackage recommends: ii cowbuilder 0.79 ii pbuilder 0.224 ii pristine-tar 1.33 ii python-requests 2.9.1-3 Versions of packages git-buildpackage suggests: pn python-notify <none> ii sudo 1.8.15-1.1 ii unzip 6.0-20 -- no debconf information
