It follows DEP-14 +for branch naming (e.g. using debian/sid for the current version +in Debian unstable). + +It uses pristine-tar(1) to store enough information in git to generate +bit identical tarballs when building the package without having +downloaded an upstream tarball first. + +When working with patches it is recommended to use "gbp pq import" to +import the patches, modify the source and then use "gbp pq export +--commit" to commit the modifications. + +The changelog is generated using "gbp dch" so if you submit any +changes don't bother to add changelog entries but rather provide +a nice git commit message that can then end up in the changelog. + +It is recommended to build the package with pbuilder using: + + gbp builpackage --git-pbuilder + +For information on how to set up a pbuilder environment see the +git-pbuilder(1) manpage.
