At this point, pre-topgit, that is what my tags do: I tag the ./debian/ branch and the integration branch. Checking out the tag on the integration branch, and installing the submodules, are all you need to do. The single tag checkout reproduces exactly the state of the tree that was used to build the package. With topgit, this gets messy, since not just the integration branch tip needs to be tracked, we need every topgit branch base and tip to regenerate the patch series. me no likum. manoj -- One of the most striking differences between a cat and a lie is that a cat has only nine lives. -- Mark Twain, "Pudd'nhead Wilson's Calendar" Manoj Srivastava <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> <http://www.golden-gryphon.com/> 1024D/BF24424C print 4966 F272 D093 B493 410B 924B 21BA DABB BF24 424C _______________________________________________ vcs-pkg-discuss mailing list vcs-pkg-discuss@lists.alioth.debian.org http://lists.alioth.debian.org/mailman/listinfo/vcs-pkg-discuss
